Customer Reviews

A Wonderful Mother Goose!

Like another reviewer, I had been on the hunt for a good Mother Goose collection - only one or two rhymes per page, more than one verse of the longer rhymes, charming illustrations with all the rhymes illustrated, the rhymes as I remembered them (I am 69) and not rewritten, just Mother Goose rhymes and not newer poems. I love this collection. I wish it had the rhyme about Mother Goose herself, "There Was a Little Girl Who Had a Little Curl," and "One Misty, Moisty Morning" as those are ones my mother used to quote but it is a small book and they couldn't include everything! I look forward to reading this with my granddaughters who are due to arrive this summer!

Love it!

I love this collection...it is layed out nicely and pictures are adorable. I went into a 'brick and mortar' store to find the perfect "Mother Goose"...I almost bought "THe Real Mother Goose" online (I think is the title)...but in person it was horrible, the layout of the other book made me dizzy...too many poems on a page, weird font and spacing... So this book is simple...one page per poem (or two for a long one), all in color, and the size of the book is narrow so if fits in my bag nicely. It is very colorful and fun to read and my 3 and 6 year old LOVE it. It is not the sanitized...rewritten Mother Goose (which I love). Great buy too!! $6.99!!! I really spent too much time looking for a good Mother Goose book...so I had to share that I am very happy with my final selection!!!
