(Though I don't really think of "The Owl and The Pussycat" as a Nursery Rhyme.
My favorite is the "This Little Piggy" which includes a mash up with Three Little Pigs. It made me laugh aloud. Also Solomon Grundy is done by who you would want to do it (Mingola). The Jack Be Nimble one is pretty funny too....more
While I wish there had been stories from more countries, it is not enough for me to knock it down a star.

The majority of the stories in here are from India, China, and Japan. A total of 15 out of 20. But I do like the fact that a tale from Georgie was included and that Tibet got its own listing.
I'm not sure what my favorite story is in this collection, but there is something here for everyone. I loved "The Lucky Teapot" and "Ghost Pepper". The women are far more active here then the actual traditional tales. Additionally all the characters are depicted as people of the country the tale is from (so Indian tales have Indian characters and not white people).
The version of Mulan here is very good as well....more

It features artwork of a predator with its teeth biting something (and a little bit of blood, not graphic, more like vampires). There are quotes from writers and other people before each animal.
I found it funny in a demented type of way. It's like kawaii but of bloody vampires....more

However, it is an interesting read that details not only the lions of Big Cat Rescue but lions in general as well as how the loopholes in laws are exploited by people who make money off of big cats.
Do not understand why lion and lioness were capitalized in the first section, however....more
