Miss Mary Mack 

Everyone knows some version of this popular children's hand-clapping rhyme, but in this adaptation, the fateful jump over the fence is just the beginning of the fun. Popular children's author Mary Ann Hoberman has elaborated on this well-known tale to create an absurdly funny story children will want to sing, chant, read and clap to again and again. And as her previous books have proven, Nadine Westcott's playful watercolour illustrations are the perfect complement to any familiar childhood nonsense rhyme. Parents of very young children are always looking for simple, entertaining books their little ones can enjoy (without destroying), as the current market for board books shows. MISS MARY MACK is sure to find a welcome home alongside THE LADY WITH THE ALLIGATOR PURSE and SKIP TO MY LOU in the ever growing board book sections of many bookstores.
