The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster by David Conway

In this topsy-turvy nursery rhyme world, Little Miss Muffett is bored of her repetitive role, and sick of being intimidated by spiders, so decides to break out of her own story to see what is happening elsewhere.

Bumping into all sorts of well-known characters along the way - including the Grand Old Duke of York, Jack and Jill and The Queen of Hearts - Miss Muffett upsets plots all over the place, causing much chaos in the process.

It’s an amusingly anarchic take on a familiar format, with matchingly madcap illustrations and satisfyingly silly. Inquisitive young minds will no doubt identify with Miss Muffett’s need to explore the unknown, though protective parents may not necessarily approve of her rebellious tendencies.
