A very few of you may recall eons ago when we reviewed Gris Grimly's Wicked Nursery Rhymes and Wicked Nursery Rhymes II
They are very very amusing and fantastically illustrated, but also pretty dark and recommended (by the publisher) for kids over ten. Not very appropriate for littler ones. We don't want little kids to miss out on the fun of macabre parodies, though, which is why we're absolutely thrilled to have discovered Monster Goose by the awesome Judy Sierra (author of The Gruesome Guide to World Monsters):
These hilarious versions of well-known nursery rhymes are creepy enough to capture the fancy of a small monster lover, but not as dark as those in Grimly's books, making them much more suitable for a younger audience. Check it out and enjoy!

Monster Goose sounds awesome, definitely something I'd feel comfortably reading to my daughter.
Gris Grimly, on the other hand, is a personal favorite of mine. I even had the opportunity to pick his brain recently over at the clubhouse with some Q&A, check it out: http://strangekidsclub.blogspot.com/2010/06/interview-w-gris-grimly.html
