Review
"Miss Muffet or What Came After" is written by Marilyn Singer and Illustrated by David Litchfield. The book is all in verse and is made to look like we are watching actors performing a play about Little Miss Muffet. We learn that we don't know the full story about Little Miss Muffet. She truly wants to be a fiddle player, but her mother wants her to be a fine lady. The spider in the story can talk eloquently and tells Miss Muffet to leave her house and follow her dream. She and the spider run into Little Bo-Peep, who also dreams of musical success, and some other nursery rhyme characters. The book is funny, but a bit long and gets a bit wordy. This book is not a must-buy. ~Reviewed by Kate Radke
