Once Upon a Time

By Vivian French
Illustrated by John Prater

Spot all your favourite nursery rhyme characters in this lively rhyming tale!

"Nothing much happened round here," says the little boy to his dad at the end of the day. But the pictures tell a different story! Goldilocks, three little pigs, a wolf, a witch, Humpty Dumpty -- all have paraded outside the little boy’s window! So maybe it wasn't such a dull day after all!

  • Detailed pictures make this ideal for generating audience participation, as readers are encouraged to identify popular characters and guess what happens next.
  • Companion title to "Once Upon a Picnic".
  • "The pictures are excellent, the telegraphic text perfect, the idea brilliant. We have here a classic," Books For Keeps.
