Lucy Knisley sets “There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe” at “Ruth’s Rock & Roll Baby Sitting” where Ruth - a tattooed old rocker - entertains the children, inviting them to play with her band “The Whips” - and so finding a nice justification for the line “and whipped them all soundly” before she sent them to bed.Įach artist stays true to the traditional nursery rhyme, but they add their own twist and interpretation. Other artists lend thoroughly modern reinterpretations. Some pairings play off the cartoonists’ reputations - Nick Bruel, well-known for his Bad Kitty series illustrates “Three Little Kittens”, with the kittens ending up eating pie with messy delight. The result is a humorous, often quirky collection of some old favorites and some lesser-known traditional rhymes. Each cartoonist was asked by editor Chris Duffy to interpret a different nursery rhyme, one suited to their particular taste or style. With 50 nursery rhymes illustrated by an talented array of leading cartoonists, this book is a visual feast.
