To Market, To Market
To Market, To Market
Anne Miranda’s inventive twist on a classic rhyme tells what happens after a shopper goes “to market, to market, to buy a fat pig.” Back home the pig promptly escapes, and soon the pig’s in the kitchen, the lamb’s on the bed, the cow’s on the couch--and the rest of the animals are wreaking havoc throughout the house.

To Market To Market appears in the movie, You’ve Got Mail, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. See the book in the window of The Shop Around the Corner at minute 1.29. What an honor to be included in a store that features the very best of Children’s Literature!
“Howl as Miranda’s retake blindsides Mother Goose with a shopping cart.”
“The skillfully wielded visual anarchy explodes off the page....This is one market trip children will wish to take again and again.”
“As an early childhood educator, in the public school system, I have found this book to be almost magic with 4 & 5 year olds. The rhyme, rhythm and cadence of the text is perfect. The illustrations are captivating. You won’t be sorry purchasing this lovely book!”
