This is the Mother Goose book I grew up with. Only the one I grew up with belonged to my older brother, so it took me 30 years to find this one in a used bookstore. That is how much I love it. The illustrations are lovely, the rhymes are traditional and every page is a treat.

I received this book as a gift when I was a young girl. It has always been one of my favorites not just for the rhymes in it, but moreso for the beautiful illustrations. I remember pouring over them for hours while reading and memorizing the rhymes. A cherished book in my personal collection.

1. I could use these poems for morning reading.
2. Since some of the poems are lacking illustrations, I could have students draw illustrations for them.
