Illustrations:
Each poem has a funny and twisted illustration to go with it. These drawings are softly colored and cute to go with their silly tales and rhymes. Blackall does a wonderful job of making these images reflect the old time-y nursery rhyme mood and tone.

In the classroom:
I think this would be a wonderful addition to a poetry section for any classroom. This twisted collection of tales spins the traditional on its head. Readers will love reading the classic stories when there a little mixed up. This is a fun and silly book that could really appeal to students who aren't interested in poetry.
