It’s
just a popular nursery rhyme but it’s got a book devoted to it!
Each line is complimented by a colorful painting and a clever thread runs through the
illustrations to connect the lines of the rhyme which otherwise, seem quite
disjointed.
Clue: A little girl in red.
I could
not help but notice the extraordinarily thick paper used for the book, obviously
targeting a young audience but not young enough to merit board pages.
Excerpt
Eleven,
twelve, dig and delve
Thirteen,
fourteen, maids a-courting
Fifteen,
sixteen, maids in the kitchen
Seventeen,
eighteen, maids in waiting
Nineteen,
twenty, my plate’s empty!
