Think you know your favourite classic nursery rhymes? Read this picture book and think again! In this witty reworking of popular nursery rhymes, Little Boy Blue understands it's OK to cry, Wee Willie Winkie knows kindness and wisdom are more important than how big you are, and that boys, and girls, are made of magic, moonbeams, hopes and dreams. With the winning combination of Jeanne Willis's brilliantly funny poems and charming, witty illustrations from Isabelle Follath, these nursery rhymes prove that boys can be anything they want to be.
Includes revamped classic nursery rhymes such as:

  • Little Boy Blue
  • What Are Little Boys Made of?
  • Wee Willie Winkie
  • Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. . . and so many more!

This remixed nursery rhyme collection is the perfect gift book for any child (or adult!), to read aloud or enjoy alone.
