The truly fantastic pictures speak more than a thousand words as artist Scott Gustafson riffs in paint on themes present and imagined in each verse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Nursery rhymes are classic, and so are some of the artist's interpretations. But other paintings are surprises, like an anthropomorphic baking bear, a pelican sea captain, and Peter Piper as a pug on two legs. Welcome to a world where \"There Was a Crooked Man\" is not about a hunchbacked senior but rather a madcap, double-jointed dandy who might be \"crooked\" in more ways than one. Jack (Be Nimble) is a leaping cricket and Yankee Doodle a fun-loving chipmunk on a fullsize horse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Scott Gustafson's unique style, influenced by legendary book illustrators Arthur Rackham and N. C. Wyeth, makes this a volume to be treasured by children and illustrated-book lovers of all ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGustafson, Scott:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Scott Gustafson is the award-winning author and illustrator of Artisan's \u003ci\u003eClassic Fairy Tales, Favorite Nursery Rhymes from Mother Goose, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eClassic Bedtime Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as an illustrated novel for young readers entitled \u003ci\u003eEddie: The Last Youth of Edgar Allen Poe\u003c\/i\u003e and many other illustrated children's books.
