Rufus and his friends spend a rainy school day reading, writing, counting, singing—and making a little mischief in the library! From bus to playground, cafeteria to classroom, this laugh-out-loud narrative collection of nursery rhymes will immerse you in the fun and friendship of a day in Rufus's class. Bestselling author-illustrator Iza Trapani breathes new life into fourteen nursery rhymes, including, "The Ants Go Marching," "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe," and "A Diller, a Dollar," in this celebration of school.
Iza Trapani was born in Poland, and when she first came to the United States at the age of seven, she learned English in large part by reading a book of Mother Goose. She is the author of many books for children, some of which were based on beloved nursery rhymes such as Mary Had a Little Lamb, I'm a Little Teapot, and the bestselling The Itsy Bitsy Spider, which recently celebrated its twentieth anniversary. Iza lives in upstate New York. View titles by Iza Trapani
