Topsy-Turvy Tasks is a contemporary nursery rhyme that forms part of a delightful collection of six new classics penned by Latvian authors, expertly translated into English for the very first time. Maija Laukmane invites us into a whimsical realm where everything seems misplaced. When even a slight alteration occurs, the daily routines and tasks of a child and her beloved pets become thoroughly jumbled, resulting in an amusing scenario where Annie is pursued by mice, while her dog assumes her place in school. However, certain aspects remain steadfast throughout this topsy-turvy adventure. No matter how much chaos ensues, Morris the cat remains fiercely attached to his bowl of milk, displaying an unwavering determination that defies all attempts to detach him.

Sabine Moore's captivating illustrations, a delightful blend of cartoon and cut-out styles, infuse this extraordinary world with their vibrant and exuberant energy. Each page is a vibrant tapestry, filled with playful characters and imaginative landscapes, adding an extra layer of charm and wonder to this already enchanting tale.
