WaitWho Got Goosed? - Mother...

Julie Coles

Wait...Who Got Goosed? is a contemporary, remixed version of Mother Goose's memorable fables about our human foibles. As in the original rhymes, modern day characters' struggles with questionable judgment result in predictable, and sometimes messy, outcomes. Just what is it that causes us to ignore cautionary tales of old and continue the cycle of having to learn (or not learn) from our own mistakes? 
Having the opportunity to rewrite these familiar lyric stories about missteps through a more humanitarian lens made the journey of writing a modern version of stories from the past especially enjoyable. The Companion Activity Book offers the same potential wordplay and enjoyment for young and young-at-heart poets alike. Readers of all ages, including those familiar with the original Mother Goose rhymes, will enjoy this new iteration of poems that add insight and poignancy to lessons of humility and kindness. Many poems highlight the potential favorability of outcomes when responded to with compassion. So often, serious topics shared through poetry and humor can make our shortcomings a bit easier to digest.
