A Very Nice Nursery Rhyme Collection with Beautiful Artwork

Kate Greenaway's Mother Goose book, originally published in 1881, includes most of the best-loved nursery rhymes illustrated in beautiful watercolor paintings. Their mood is gently romantic, rather than playful like DePaola's Tomie's Little Mother Gooseand Opie's The Very Best of Mother GooseMother Goose collections. For parents who want to introduce a little "real" art to their young children, this could be a very nice fit. It's also available in a three-volume board book format.

Sweet book.

I bought this book to accomany a doll that I purchased for my great-niece. It is beautifully illustrated and of course a classic.
