Not Your Traditional Mary Had a Little Lamb

This weekend I discovered two books that take the sweetness and timelessness of Mary Had a Little Lamb and add a twist. You need to check these out.

Jonas Sickler takes a look at Mary and her lamb in Africa. It is a simple wordless picture book that follows the nursery rhyme exactly. I found it in my local toy store. It is on Amazon. Ages 0+

Kayla Harren's Mary Had a Little Lizard is also a wordless picture book. It takes you through the rhyme, but adds many details to it. You'll love the friendship between the lizard and the girl, how the lizard sneaks to school, and the silliness. My family's favorite part is when the lizard, who is covered in paint, is discovered by Mary's teacher. I checked it out from the library yesterday. We've read it at least 8 times already. Any age that knows the nursery rhyme will love this book. It is on Amazon.
