Books with title Little Miss Muffet Counts to Ten

In an amusing retelling of this much-loved nursery song, Little Miss Muffet's picnic is not only disturbed by a spider, but by a host of other creatures as well! Luckily, they're prepared to share, so there's a feast at the end. Look through the holes in each page to guess see what food the animals like, and what noises they make. Bright, colourful illustrations, innovative die cutting and popular rhymes make Books with Holes a must for every child.

This is a new title in the fantastic "First Reading" series, part of the Usborne Young Reading Programme. It is aimed at children who are beginning to read. It is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is a Principal Lecturer in Education and an early reading specialist from Roehampton University. Every title in this series features clear and compelling text accompanied by highly appealing illustrations. It is designed to motivate children as they learn to read.

Everybody knows the story of Little Miss Muffet. Or do they? Ian Beck has taken the well-known nursery rhyme and married it to the spirit of children's theater to create a completely new and longer rhyme that will surprise and delight every child. His colorful illustrations recreate a small stage, complete with traditional scenery and footlights, on which the charming mini play takes place. A wonderful new cast of characters -- the spangly witch, a fantastic frog, Yip-Yip the dog, the silvery Moon and more -- is introduced scene-by-scene until the spider eventually makes his appearance for the long-awaited finale!
