Summary: A timeless collection of stories using pop-up. In this book, Robert Sabuda, uses intricate pop-up pictures to liven up some of the most well known nursery rhymes. Sabuda takes the typical nursery rhyme characters and puts a little twist on them. For example the cow jumping over the moon, he has a grasshopper do it. This is a great story that children of all ages will enjoy!

Extension Activity: Give the students each a different nursery rhyme, and like Rovert Sabuda did, have them make changes to them to make the story their own.
