Collected in this invaluable book are the wit and wisdom of generations of schoolchildren — more than one hundred and seventy rhymes ranging from insults and riddles to tongue twisters, jeers, and jump-rope rhymes. With Iona Opie’s introduction and detailed notes and Maurice Sendak’s remarkable pictures — vignettes, sequences, and full-page paintings both wickedly funny and comically sad — here is a book that deserves a place among the classic texts of childhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiterature \u0026amp; Fiction\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort Stories \u0026amp; Anthologies\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eAnthologies\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Candlewick","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":49101387104446,"sku":"0763664014-3","price":14.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71iRWDD11LL.jpg?v=1790013608","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/0763664014-i_saw_esau_the_schoolchilds_pocket_book","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
