All the Children – The ABC of Mean Rhymes
All the children crawl through the hole.
Except for Chuck, who gets himself stuck.
All the children jump on the moon.
Except for Grace, who is lost in space.
These rhymes embody the wonderful vernacular of childhood – playground doggerel passed from one generation to the next. Martin Schmitz-Kuhl compiled them in a children’s book – originally in German, but also in English! The result is a refreshingly irreverent and hilarious encyclopaedia of childish schadenfreude with wacky illustrations.
