Synopsis"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me." That's what children chant when they are being teased; it's what their parents chanted, and probably their grandparents before them. Collected in this invaluable book are the wit and wisdom of generations of schoolchildren-more than 170 selections ranging from insults and riddles to jeers and jump-rope rhymes. With Iona Opie's introduction and detailed notes and Maurice Sendak's remarkable pictures-vignettes, sequences, and full-page paintings both wickedly funny and comically sad-it offers knowledge and entertainment to all who open it.

A different take on children's games & rhymns from Merry Old England.
Besides being eye -catching in it's illustrations I found some of it to be very very spicy stuff. The tittle provokes an old testament male( a twin). Recommend Perhaps hard to come up with a twin version?
