Well, I haven't played it but there is "Mixed Up Mother Goose"
by Sierra.

The Fairway has an image and a few pictures:

See here for more screens (the DOS version should be
graphically identical to the GS conversion):

It's usually categorized as an adventure, though.

There's also a sequel: "Mixed Up Fairy Tales" (DOS only).

HTH,
