Have you traveled to faraway places where you forgot to not drink the water, or eat fruit washed in said water and experienced Montezuma's Revenge? Just how did he get associated with tummy distress? Find out in How King Montezuma Got His Revenge, by Annalisa Nash Fernandez with illustrations by Pilar Castillo Layos. History and humor combined with actual Aztec artwork made this a fun read. Don't miss the disclaimer at the end with other names for enterotoxigenic bacteria!

I remember A Great Big Ugly Man Came Up and Tied His Horse to Me, from it was first published and when I saw it recently when I was looking something else up, I had to smile ... and then use it here! It is a collection of nonsense verse with illustrations by Wallace Trip. I seem to remember one about eating your peas with honey .... ! :-)
