The Story

Welcome to the land where all your nursery rhyme pals hang out—together! Mother Goose plans a spectacular party for all her nearest and dearest: Little Bo Peep, Jack and Jill, the Cow that jumped over the moon, you name it. But wait! Where are the sheep? Little Bo Peep is panicking, and without her fluffy friends, the whole party might be ruined. As pesky problems pile up (a trampoline baby? Broken crown? Runaway dishware?), everyone pitches in to prevent disaster. It's nonstop mini-dramas solved with silly rhymes and adorable group effort. No scary parts. Just one adorable, harmless goose bumble after another.

Why You Should Read It

As a parent who lost many a caffeine-induced clap at school plays, I fell in love with how open this script is. Want to have 20 kids sharing the 5 sheep costumes? Changed in two seconds. Need every single kid to get equal lines for that excruciating group photo evening total counts. Yes ma'am. The author Preston knew the primary desire—class participation with bright bursts of expressive “IN CHARACTER” farts around timeless characters. Their poetic lines follow f”Favorite-nursery-rhyme syncs” so reading is part dance. Kids plus parents show appreciation together. Cheap, thoughtful, inclusive ensemble! Smudge page after impromptu group readings being recalled many naps later.

Most warmly, my '80s infant could point Mother Goose in kindergarten posters today and see huge sincere connecting comfort—connecting then primary play to story comprehension value. You all have known Snoopy lovers?
