Space Age poetry for science lovers
You could give this book to your wee geeks, but we're afraid that unless they're mad geniuses, they aren't going to get it. Actually, there are some adults that aren't going to get it. But science and math geeks, you will get it and you will laugh and laugh. The Space Child's Mother Goose was originally published in the 1950s and there are geeks across the world who remember it fondly as a favorite book in their household. It includes such classics as:
Probable-Possible, my black hen
She lays eggs in the relative when
She doesn't lay eggs in the positive now
Because she's unable to postulate how.
Witty, educational, and accompanied by black & white line art, The Space Child's Mother Goose is a hard-to-find book that takes classic Mother Goose rhymes and morphs them into scientific masterpieces. After all, Little Miss Muffet really needed a force field to escape from those pesky spiders, didn't she?
