The Real Dada Mother Goose by Jon Scieszka illustrated by Julia Rothman

With a variety of methods, Mr. Scieszka transforms original Mother Goose rhymes into clever, amusing rhymes. He displays the original Mother Goose rhyme and then follows it with a variety of versions. Some methods he utilizes are: morse code, esperanto, pig Latin, spoonerisms, Jabberwocky, Haiku, N + 7  and many more. Readers who like puzzles will find this book engaging. 

Thorough notes explain each of the methods and their histories, and the story behind "Dada", Mother Goose, & Blanche Fisher Wright (illustrator of The Real Mother Goose).

-Borrowed from the library.
