Book Reviews of To Market, To Market

Book Review: Great rhythmic fun for little tiny kids
Summary: 5 Stars

Our daughter was given this book for her first birthday, and she loved it from the start. Author Anne Miranda subverts the typical "To Market, To Market" rhyme with her own funnybone squarely at the fore of her thinking. Among other things, our huffy old lady goes "To market, to market" to cows, lambs, fish, and more, only to discover that they're making a wreck of her home. The pig is lolling on the counter, the hen has nested in the cutlery drawer, and the lamb is resting comfortably in the dishwasher.

What to do?!?? Although the lady verges on panic, she gets it together, assembles the ingredients for a lovely (vegetarian) meal, and everyone is seated at the end to enjoy the steaming vegetable soup she's made.

Miranda's humorous text is greatly aided by the illustrations of the talented Janet Stevens. Stevens combines actual black-and-white photographs with acrylic, pastel, and colored pencil illustrations. The result is a series of pictures with an up-to-the-minute feeling and a great deal of interest. Lots of fun for very young kids--and, luckily, for their parents as well.

Summary of To Market, To Market

Anne Miranda?s inventive twist on a classic rhyme tells what happens after a shopper goes ?to market, to market, to buy a fat pig.? Back home the pig promptly escapes, and soon the pig?s in the kitchen, the lamb?s on the bed, the cow?s on the couch--and the rest of the animals are wreaking havoc throughout the house.
