There Was a Crooked Man: Usborne First Reading Level 2

A quirky, "crooked" adventure based on the classic rhyme!

Everything in the crooked man's world is a little bit bent—his house, his cat, and even his walk. But when he decides he wants a crooked fish for his supper, a mystery begins. Where could it have gone? This playful retelling takes a familiar nursery rhyme and turns it into a fun, suspenseful story for early readers.
