Each rhyme is 2-4 lines, with an innocent title and a horrible ending. Each rhyme is accompanied by a brightly colored yet twisted illustration of the scenario described to add humor.

Artist/Comedian Ben Rosenfeld has a special skill: he can speak Russian. So when he came across some of Russia’s most (in)famous nursery rhymes, of course he had to combine his talents and create this generation’s most truly hilarious/awful illustrated book for kids.  I guess it all depends on your sense of humor 🙂

For example, The Woods: “A little boy found a machine gun. Nothing lives in the woods anymore.”

Share these with others. But probably not children.
