Join the Sweeet Old Lady as she shares her version of traditional nursery rhymes that she found scary or cruel. She has changed them to a kind and compassionate version towards people, animals, (especially mice) and even a big egg has a happy ending. Children can have fun following Westley, a little mouse in a hot air balloon, as he travels through each page of the nursery rhymes. They will also enjoy finding him on the last page after he parachutes out of the air balloon into the page.
