To Market, to Market

by Anne Miranda, Janet Stevens (Illustrator)

Overview

A funny twist on the classic rhyme

What happens after a shopper goes “to market, to market, to buy a fat pig”? Back home the pig promptly escapes, and soon the pig’s in the kitchen, the lamb’s on the bed, the cow’s on the couch—and the rest of the animals are wreaking havoc throughout the house!

"The skillfully wielded visual anarchy explodes off the page. This is one market trip children will wish to take again and again." —Publishers Weekly
