The Missing Tarts

The Missing Tarts 
Written by B. G. Hennessey
Illustrated by Tracey Campbell Pearson

This is a nursery rhyme type poem.  It starts by stating that the Queen of Hearts made some tarts and the Knave of Hearts stole them and took them away.  After that the queen wants to know where are the tarts and Jack and Jill tell her to look for them up the hill.  From there techy go to Old King Coles bowl and then to the cupboard of Old Mother Hubbard.  It goes through other references to nursery rhymes and finally the Queen of Hearts finds the tarts.  The Knave of Hearts gave the, all away.

This would be a good nursery rhyme book that I could read about to the students. Maybe I could use it as a memorizing activity and have them practice so we could all recite it from memory.  This book would be good for Pre-K to 1st grade.   The illustrations are colorful and would definitely be attractive to the little ones.
