Customer Reviews

A nice expansion of Mother Goose!

We have tons of Mother Goose books and yet found some new reads in this book focusing on rhymes with numbers. It flows one into another with each page vivid with color and characters seemingly in a parade wearing fun costumes. The Dillons are an amazing husband/wife illstration team and this is one of my favorites of their works.

Learning to count with Mother Goose

This book is filled with Mother Goose rhymes containing numbers, and fun yet quirky illustrations with myriads of animals, people and objects to count. The illustrations remind me of the artwork of James Christensen, as seen in A Journey of the Imagination: The Art of James Christensen. There is just this whimsical quality to the pictures that is very unique. As for the Mother Goose rhymes, there are many familiar rhymes in this book, but also some fun, unfamiliar ones. This is a fun Mother Goose collection with a twist! Very creative.

Numbers on the loose

This is a great book. It has a few Mother Goose rhymes I didn't even know about. My grandkids love it. We can read the rhymes, but we can also discuss the wonderful illustrations and make up even more stories. This is one of my favorites.
