'Little Star' Summary
The Little Star is a collection of satirical poems that playfully poke fun at the familiar children's poem, 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.' Each verse, written by anonymous authors, reinterprets the original with a unique twist, often employing humor and absurdity. Some verses imagine the star as a grumpy old man, a mischievous child, or even a culinary delight, while others explore the star's journey through the cosmos in a comical way. The collection offers a lighthearted exploration of language and creativity, demonstrating the potential for playful reinvention within the world of children's literature.Book Details
