What is Three Little Kittens and Other Favourite Nursery Rhymes about?

When Nelly asks Grandad for a story, he opens an old book filled with favourite nursery rhymes instead. Together they meet three mischievous kittens, a sleepy little piggy, a grand old duke and many other familiar characters. Some rhymes are funny and playful, while others, such as “Ring a Ring of Roses”, seem mysterious or even a little sinister. Luckily, Grandad knows the stories behind them and helps Nelly discover their surprising meanings through rhyme, laughter and lively illustrations.
