Pat-A-Cake, Pat-A-Cake
PC Pat-a-Cake - The Text Variation Is More Significant.
The author of Father Gander Nursery Rhymes: The Equal Rhymes Amendment
states that nursery rhymes are often the first literature and songs that
children hear. In their original versions, these rhymes are male dominated,
full of violence and sexism, and other social injustice. The goal of the
author is to maintain the musical and poetic value of the Mother Goose
rhymes, but replace the text with more encouragement, equality and respect
for others, which are better first lessons for young children. This version
of Pat- A-Cake is no longer sexist by including baker's girl and now all
of us will share in the cake. This book must have been written at the
height of concern for political correctness.The large rainbow in the sky
and the multicultural cast of characters in this image support this theme.
