About Mary Had A Little Lizard
Product Description A modern take on “Mary Had a Little Lamb” featuring hilarious antics as Lizard sneaks into Mary’s backpack and causes nothing but mayhem in her Kindergarten class. He eats someone’s lunch, makes a mess in the painting corner, and scares the teacher silly during story time before being sent to the principal’s office to wait for Mary's mom to pick him up. It’s no fun being alone. But when Mary finally comes home from school, Lizard knows he’ll always have his very best friend. Rendered in a combination of traditional and digital color, Mary Had a Little Lizard is a silly, satisfying celebration of new experiences and friendships that can never be broken. From School Library Journal PreS-K—Contrary to the familiar nursery rhyme, the fair-haired chid in this wordless picture book takes a pet lizard to school instead of a lamb. The geckolike critter stirs up quite a bit of mischief once he escapes from Mary's backpack hung up in her cubbie. The author's attractive and colorful artwork brings a multitude of humorous scenes in varying perspectives, showing the goofy-looking lizard creatively dabbling with the brushes and acrylics set out for Painting Day. Mary's classroom includes a teacher and classmates of many ethnicities. Unfortunately, one child's face falls in the gutter crease of the book's binding. Concluding pages show happiness for Mary and her pet at the end of the school day. This alternate telling of the Mother Goose rhyme can contribute to children's imaginations and conversational skills as they decide what will happen next.
