The Cow Tripped Over the Moon

Written by Jeanne Willis, Illustrated by Joel Stewart

This book follows an ambulance as it comes to the aid of a variety of nursery rhyme characters. I loved the idea of this book, but I thought the book was just okay. Some of the rhymes felt a little forced. You definitely need to be familiar with the nursery rhymes before reading this book so you can understand why the characters needed help.
