Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush | Homeschooling with Cozy Books

Sometimes you happen upon a book that you know is going to become a favorite. This was the case when I found Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush by Iza Trapani at the library. I knew it had everything Caroline would love including the illustrations, the silliness, the rollicking language, and the animals.

Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush is a charming and fun story that will appeal to many children and families.



Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush

Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush is a take-off on the traditional nursery song. Trapani develops it and makes it into a hilarious tale of what happens when a gardener tries to deal with the animals intent on taking over her garden. Told alternately from the point of view of the gardener and the animals, it is a clever telling with great illustrations.

If you garden and battle the creatures, you will love this book. And even if you don’t, you’ll still appreciate the humor.

We enjoyed Iza Trapani’s books so much, we ended up purchasing a large treasury with multiple stories. You can see all of her books available on the Iza Trapani Amazon page.

If you are looking for fun books, you will definitely want to check them out!

    My worst garden critter is the woodrat, also known as a packrat. It comes into my garden and chews plants off at the roots. They do that to harvest them for food middens. I know they have to eat too, but it just drives me crazy. – Margy

      Hi Margy,

      I had to look up woodrats because I wasn’t familiar with them. I can see how they could be a real nuisance. I hear you about the fact they have to eat too. We have birds that come to our feeders that I would rather not feed, but they have to eat too. LOL!

      Good to hear from you!

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
