Synopses & Reviews
Jack and Jill went up the hill;
it took them quite a while.
Jack looked into the well and screamed,
"A giant crocodile!"
It's not easy to fetch a pail of water when you're faced with a hungry croc who isn't in the mood to share. What are Jack and Jill to do? Their father's disappeared and their mother doesn't believe in talking crocodiles, but could a plumber help them? Or Bessie, their pet cow? Perhaps if they can come up with the right wish, Jack and Jill might get their water . . . and what they really need, too!
With vivid illustrations, Daniel Kirk expands the classic nursery rhyme and introduces us to two plucky siblings who won't let anything keep them down.
