“The whimsical quality of Nolan's new retelling of yesterday's nursery rhymes is irrefutable. The way Nolan
took every rhyme, no matter the original topic, and rewrote it to tell a completely different story, while main-
taining the initial cadence, is both creative and ingenious. And technically speaking, she did it flawlessly.”-
Ready Set Read Reviews
“This is a very quaint and refreshing take on nursery rhymes that will be sure to enchant and transport the
reader into the magical world of buoys and gulls. I smiled at some, giggled at others and enjoyed an interesting
lesson on the names of animal family groups in One Flamingo.”- Reading Rumpus
“This might be a nice one to tuck into the beach bag, with an eye toward turning time under the beach um-
brella into teachable moments.”- Publishers Weekly

collection retells Mother Goose rhymes and celebrates America’s coastlines and waterways —
from sea to shining sea. Young readers will meet playful pelicans, seagulls and otters. They’ll ride
wild island ponies, meet pirates, and hopefully, they’ll learn the important difference between
“orca” and “okra.” With clever twists on old standards, Mo
