Summary: A new collection of old and familiar nursery rhymes -- rhymes that stay alive from generation to generation because they move in lively rhythms. The words of these old favorites roll easily from the tongue, whether they be full of wisdom, humor or just plain nonsense. Many are fine poetry and serve as an important introduction to our literature. Featuring the classic nursery rhymes; Humpty Dumpty, Old Mother Hubbard, Jack Sprat, Little Bo-Peep and many many many more!
My reaction: The illistrator Hilda Offen was very much in tune with keeping the spirit of the old familiar words. They will be a lasting joy to readers and listeners, young and old.
Potential problems: There is no problems with this classic variety of fairy tales.
My recommendation: Mother Goose serves as and excellent bed time story for children of young ages. Also can be used for art time in a nursery or preschool as the children illustrate their favorite Mother Goose rhyme.
