Synopsis
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me." That's what children chant when they are being teased; it's what their parents chanted, and probably their grandparents before them. Collected in this invaluable book are the wit and wisdom of generations of schoolchildren-more than 170 selections ranging from insults and riddles to 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-it offers knowledge and entertainment to all who open it.

    Great experience. I ordered a luxury hardcover for which the condition of the book is important and the packing was great and the item was as described. I asked questions during the process and the seller was responsive and helpful. I would definitely buy again from this seller

    Book received clearly packaged with great care. Clean cover with no creases. Like-new book for a great used price. Excited to dive in. Seller was prompt and professional. Will go back to seller next time I’m looking for books.

    Expertly packaged and sent fast at a low price. The pair of books in itself is in fantastic shape which was as the description read.
