Other Goose by J. Otto Seibold


Seibold, J. Otto Other Goose: Re-Nursuried, Re-Rhymed, Re-Mothered and Re-Goosed.  Chronicle, 2010.  $19.99.  Seibold takes the familiar Mother Goose rhymes and updates them in his interminable way.  Adult fans of Nursery Rhymes will appreciate this much more than  a child would.  Some of them work well as modern “translations” of the old, but most of they are just for humor’s sake.  Give this to an adult with a wry sense of humor.  PARENTS.
