 "Some of the rhymes in this collection can be dated back several centuries, and the most recent are about 100 years old. There is nothing the least bit trendy about nursery rhymes. They endure because generations of children have chanted them while skipping rope, sung them while splashing in bathtubs, and recited them authoritatively from books held upside down. Decade after decade, these discerning critics have determined which sing-songy nonsense is forgettable verse and which is worthy of the name 'Mother Goose.'" - James Christensen

“For these hunters, the ritual is far more important that the prize,” explains Christensen. “Bonking the bird is not in the thing; the technique of the hunt is. Each of these bird hunters is a “master” of technique, whether he’s disguised as another bird, a pear tree, a rock, a fungus-covered log or a butterfly. Whoever has the best costume, more than who gets the bird, wins.”

“That accounts for only five bird hunters, though. What about the sixth? Is it the fish? “No,” says Christensen, stone-faced. “That’s a decoy. Still can’t find the sixth bird hunter. That’s because he’s very, very good,” says Christensen.
