Let’s go on a little Jane Yolen spree, shall we? Today’s poem is in one of her newest collections: “Grumbles from the Town: Mother-Goose Voices with a Twist.” It is co-authored with Rebecca Kai Dotlich and is illustrated by Angela Matteson. Just as the title would suggest, it is a collection of Mother Goose voice poems reinventing or discussing those classics we all know and love.
Today’s selection are a couple of poems I more often think about as a song.
