Or, the Wonderful Games That Only Little Flower-Plant Children Can Play
Nursery rhymes set sail in Beni Montresor’s dreamlike picture book, where familiar verses and less common Mother Goose rhymes become games for little flower-plant children. Each rhyme opens a small, surprising scene: a world of rhythm, odd images, and playful nonsense that invites readers to listen as much as look. The book has the feeling of an old rhyme collection seen through a wildly imaginative artist’s eyes, making it especially engaging for children who enjoy poetry, songs, and pictures that do not explain everything at once. Younger readers can join in the sound of the lines, while older picture-book fans can linger over the strange, theatrical illustrations and invent their own meanings.
