Not Last Night But the Night Before Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A young boy, outfitted in his jammies, ran to the half door. Three black cats were `a knocking at his Dutch door and when he opened it . . . POW! They knocked him down flat. "Not last night, but the night before, the man in the man in the moon came knocking at the door." He was a bit more cautious and opened it a tad, but the moon rushed in and spun him around. Then there was a trio of little pigs peeking in at a little guy who looked very wary. Not good because when they rushed in he ended up flat on his back again.
"Not last night but the night before,
Little Bo-peep came knocking at the door.
Goodness gracious, fancy that.
She darted in and knocked me flat.
(She'd found her sheep.)"
In came Miss Muffet and there's Jack and Jill. Of course if they showed up, you'd have to have the three blind mice and Goldilocks. Ooops, "Crash! Bang! Wallop!" We mustn't forget the three bears. Just who else was going to show up at that door and flatten that boy?
This charming, whimsical story in rhyme is a virtual welcoming mat for many of our favorite nursery rhyme and fairy tale characters. This book would be a special treat for the youngster who is well versed in an assortment of characters. I loved how each character or set of characters was introduced peeking over the bottom half of the Dutch door or around the corner. Your preschooler will be anxious to turn the page and watch the ensuing hullabaloo when they rush in. This is a book just waiting for someone who would enjoy a few giggle moments!
