Isla Dilah’s Nursery Rhymes by Nana Piercy, Illustrated by Andie Shaw

Nana Piercy’s picture book, Isla Dilah’s Nursery Rhymes: Reimagined for Our Times, is both a stylish and entertaining work geared toward young grandkids with a clever retelling of common classic children’s stories. Featuring the cute cheese-loving toddler Isla and a whole host of enchanting animal companions, the book covers everything from Sunday afternoon trips to the beach to a mischievous and curious kitty taking a tumble into a fish tank. Andie Shaw’s whimsical illustrations always add a colorful pop to these amusing tales about the daily adventures and escapades of childhood. The rhymes don’t always have the same rhythm throughout, but overall this is a fun new take on old classics.
