Witty remixed nursery rhymes give little girls power, purpose, and presence…Although this title keeps gender clearly binary, this diverse bunch of girls can choose to be fairy queens or crocodiles. The very last lines turn the spotlight on a dancing Black boy, capturing the essence of empowerment: “Ray is dancing a ballet—we play what we want to play!” More relevant, possibly more entertaining, and certainly more appropriate than the originals. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
