This story of Hieronymus Bosch's household unfolds with his housekeeper calling it quits. There are too many strange things in house and Hieronymus replies, "Pish Posh." I like the close rhymes of the poem and the illustrations are amazingly intricate paintings of creatures and odd household things. Each page is almost like an I Spy book, full of details that one might have missed the first time around. I was tickled pink to learn that a family of artists worked on the illustrations and they were influenced by Bosch himself. For me, this was a delightful follow-up to A Visit to William Blake's Inn.

Wow. You'd have to be insane to write a kid's book about Hieronymus Bosch. But I loved it. And so did my 5-year-old. Whimsical and witty, this rhyming book is fantastic. My little boy loved it and was fascinated by the pictures. Well, done!
Update: Just read this to the whole family and everyone loves it. We pored over the pictures.

Would have loved this if not for the compulsive heteronormativity.
