"Silly Sally went to town, walking backwards upside down." Silly Sally is a topsy-turvy cumulative tale about a girl who walks to town on her hands and starts a small parade. "I wrote the story in rhyme with the hopes it would be easy for school children to memorize. I was amazed when a three year-old girl recited the entire book from memory to me in a bookstore." ---A.W. Published by Harcourt Brace & Company Booklist Starred Review March 15, 1992 Ages 2-4.  "Any large picture book that begins, 'Silly Sally went to town, walking backwards, upside-down,' as this one does, is guaranteed to be an instant hit with very young children. As one might predict, Silly Sally meets a host of animals along the road. A pig comes along first and joins her in her backwards, upside-down antics. Then follow a dog, a loon and finally a sheep, who put the whole crowd to sleep (backwards, upside-down, of course). It is Neddy Buttercup, dressed as a flower, 'walking forwards, right-side-up,' who rouses the group and then joins them as they parade into town 'walking backwards, upside-down." Wee ones will love the sing-song rhyme and enthusiastically chant the nonsensical refrain. To the clever text are added distinctive watercolor paintings, exploding with whimsy, humor, and zest as the characters prance across the pages against sunny yellow backgrounds. Here is a neatly packaged gem of a book with smiling, red-curled, upside-down Silly Sally inviting readers to join in the fun.  Be prepared to read this one a thousand times." -Deborah Abbott Reader Review We like SILLY SALLY because the people go upside-down.  We think the rhymes help us learn words better.  We made our own version of your book, it is called "Silly Billy." - The First-Graders and Greenie
