Adapted from the popular nursery rhyme, this book follows an adorable mouse as he tries in vain to escape from a delightfully determined fly
Iza Trapani is the best-selling author/illustrator of several children's books, including TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR; I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT; THE ITSY BITSY SPIDER; and RUFUS AND FRIENDS- RHYME TIME. She lives in the Hudson Valley of New York.
Take a perky song, extend it, surround it with effervescent
illustrations, and you have a winner. An intrepid little mouse
spends quite a while fighting a very persistent fly. At the end of
the battle of wits, both youngsters are lovingly tucked into bed by
their respective parents. The illustrations are sure to delight as
familiar household items figure in the skirmish. When rather
traditional mouse parents tuck in their wee child, observant
readers will enjoy the sponge-and-crayon bed and cork hobbyhorse.
The music and words to all of the verses are included on the last
page. Any library with Trapani fans will want a copy of Shoo
Fly! and those who haven't tried her previous adaptations
could start with this one.
