Review of
Hey,
Diddle Diddle, by Kin Eagle ISBN 1580890075
Five out of five stars
As the title
suggests, this book is an expression of many of the classic nursery rhymes. In
this case, the author and illustrator have demonstrated a great deal of
positive creativity in their adaptations. There are several related, yet
distinct rhymes that have the same pattern as the opening “Hey, Diddle Diddle .
..“ modification.
For example,
there is the short:
“The cow was out grazing
When just then – amazing!
She suddenly leaped to the moon.”
The
illustrations are very colorful and deeply expressive, especially in the faces
of the creatures, most of which are animals and animated objects. Written at
the level of the preschool child, this is a book that children will want to
have read to them over and over again.
