Simple Simon Silhouette Series

This charming collection brings together familiar nursery rhymes in a playful sequence of short, memorable verses. Young listeners can follow Simple Simon as he samples the pieman’s goods, searches for plums, fishes for a whale, hunts from atop a goat, and attempts to carry water in a sieve. His comical misadventures are joined by beloved tales of Little Miss Muffett, Tom the Piper’s son, Bo-peep, and the mysterious lady at Banbury Cross.

With its gentle rhythm, repetition, and humorous surprises, the book is well suited to reading aloud or enjoying together at bedtime. Additional favorites include “Ding Dong Bell,” “Ride a Cock Horse,” and the familiar reminder that early rising leads to health, wealth, and wisdom. The simple scenes and lively rhymes invite children to listen, repeat the lines, and imagine each wonderfully silly character.
