The Real Mother Goose (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) 37 reviews
Dodo Press, 2007
.
This book is an absolute necessity for anyone who is around children or, even moreso, a child at heart. The nursery rhymes of Mother Goose are classic and enduring, and this collection, with its vivid illustrations, bring to life so many familiar and wonderfully non-familiar poems.

My First Real Mother Goose8 reviews

Cartwheel, 2000
book to match a quilt
It's a nice add on to the baby quilt showing similar Nursery Rhymes. I thought the book was larger in size, but I should have looked at the measurments while ordering, also the price reflects the size. However, I would have still made the purchase & am pleased with it.

Original Mother Goose8 reviews
Blanche Fisher Wright
Running Press Kids, 1992
The Original is Still the Best
Save us from historical revisionists like Ms. Takahashi, who clearly has no idea of the origins of the Mother Goose nursery rhymes or the harsh conditions that existed in England when the rhymes developed. Social class division, beating, and animal cruelty were facts of life. Certainly the subject matter can be a little grisly, but infants don't care -- they love the sing-song quality of the ...

Richard Scarry's Best Mother Goose Ever (Giant Little Golden Book)19 reviews
Golden Books, 1999
Cookie
This was my daughters' favorite book while they were growing up. I can't wait to see my one daughter's face when she receives it as a gift for her first baby. I even bought a book for myself to keep at my home. The rhymes are classics and the illustrations are so eye catching. I try to purchase this book as a baby shower gift for my family and friends. I highly recommend this book.

My Very First Mother Goose36 reviews
Candlewick, 1996
Creative Visual Treat & Great Mother Goose Collection
This has been one of our kids' very favorite books since they were about 6 months old, edited by the clever Iona Opie and illustrated by the author of the Max and Ruby books. The sing-song rhythms enchanted them as babies, and the entertaining (and adorable) animal-based interpretations of the words have kept the kids coming back to pull this off the shelf. The collection is really well-chosen, ...

The Neighborhood Mother Goose (Ala Notable Children's Books. Younger Readers (Awards)) 9 reviews
Amistad, 2004
Modernizing Mother Goose
Old nursery rhymes with a new look. If your child has ever wondered what "pickled peppers" were, pick up this very contemporary look at favorite rhymes. Illustrations are an update to the old style that left young ones wondering what some of the rhymes were about. Crews gives Mother Goose a new look that was long overdue. Kids love this one!

Mary Engelbreit's Mother Goose: One Hundred Best-Loved Verses22 reviews
HarperCollins, 2005
Classic Mother Goose
I love this book, and so does my 3-year-old. Some of the pictures lend a more modern twist to the stories. For example, "4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie" are pictured as birds half in half out of a fruit pie, with the suggestion that they are eating the berries (rather than the original intention which was something more like a blackbird pot pie). Instead of cottage cheese, the curds and whey ...

Here Comes Mother Goose (My Very First Mother Goose)13 reviews
Candlewick, 1999
Great book!
I have two of the Rosemary Wells/Ione Opie Mother Goose books that we've enjoyed for many years. The pictures are large & colorful, and the poems are just the right size for younger listeners. This is the second time that I've bought the series after 10 years, as my kids loved them so much that they took them EVERYWHERE, and the books were worn out from too much loving. I like the mix of familiar ...

Mother Goose in Sign (Beginning Sign Language) 4 reviews
S. Harold Collins
Garlic Press, 1994
Introduces some basics in a fun way.
While the nursery rhymes "signed" here may not be your most favorite from childhood, they work well for teaching a "hearing" child some basic signs in a fun way. Solomon Grundy gives the days of the week, 30 Days Has September gives the names of the months, Buckle My Shoe gives numbers up to twenty, Crooked Sixpence is fun with lots of repetition to give confidence, and Mother Goose is just for ...

The Space Child's Mother Goose17 reviews
Frederick Winsor, Marian Parry (illustrator)
Purple House Press, 2001
Twisted, Charming, Educational, and Just Plain Fun
Rubber-band mathematics, telekenisis, Moebius strips and Klein bottles, multi-dimensional space-folds, a model of a scientific theory, postulates and relative time frames would not seem to be material suitable for children, but this slim book will quickly disabuse you of that idea. This book is a marvelous re-working of the old Mother Goose rhymes, updated to today's scientifically oriented ...

Mother Goose: The Original Volland Edition6 reviews

If you love the English language, buy it.
This is the definitive collection of Mother Goose nursery rhymes. If you love words and language, this is for you. This book has all the old favorites and many that you've never heard. Compare them with the modern versions of the same rhymes and you'll see how society has changed--as well as our attitudes about children. To be culturally literate, English speakers should know their Mother ...

Marjorie Ainsborough Decker
World Bible Publishing, 1992
This book is GREAT!
My husband bought this book for us this past spring. My children, who are almost 2 and almost 4, both love this book. I am glad to have found a book that encourages the values that I am trying to teach them, such as honesty, being helpful to others, and other similar values. I recomend this book to anyone who has children, young or older.

Tomie's Little Mother Goose2 reviews
Tomie dePaola
Putnam Juvenile, 1997
Beware of nursery rhymes with racial overtones
I recommend any book written/illustrated by Tomie dePaola. His illustrations are always wonderful and you can be sure that it is a good quality children's book. I especially recommend reading nursery rhymes as early as possible to children. Hearing and learning nursery rhymes helps children develop cognitive and verbal skills. Nursery rhymes have value in their historic nature, but we would ...
