    About this ebook

    A novel twist to a classic rhyme.

    Who says that little girls are made of “sugar and spice and everything nice?” Or that boys are made of “frogs and snails and puppy dog tails?” What if girls were made of “boats and snails and dinosaur tails?” And little boys of “flowers and swings and bumblebee wings?”

    When the traditional rhyme just doesn’t seem to fit the boy and girl visiting their grandpa, he comes up with a list of unusual alternatives. Soon the children are coming up with their own versions that challenge the old stereotypes with a whimsical list of ingredients. To add to the new quirky version are lively illustrations that beautifully capture the children’s imaginative flights of fancy. Young readers will delight in the small details of Sonja Wimmer’s vibrant art, and be inspired to think of their own silly examples of what ingredients they might be made of themselves.

      Dressing in head-to-toe black may be the height of sophistication according to fashion lore, but it’s also kind of... easy. Of course you’re going to look put-together in monochrome. You know what takes real skill? Rocking a mish-mash of patterns wit

      First time you wrote a joke? I was four years old. My family still torments me about it: “Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “Smoke.” “Smoke who?” “Smoke eat.” It makes zero sense and everyone laughed at me, not with me. Last time you got a bad haircut? In
