Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

To a small child, words are magical. And the most magical of all are the beloved, venerable words of Mother Goose. Now folklorist Iona Opie has gathered more than sixty treasured rhymes in their most perfect, honest form. From Hey Diddle, Diddle and Pat-a-Cake to Little Jack Horner and Pussycat, Pussycat, these are familiar verses that have been passed from parent to child for generations; these are the rhymes that are every child's birthright.

With watercolors by Rosemary Wells that may prove equally enduring, MY VERY FIRST MOTHER GOOSE captures the simple joy and the sly humor that are the essence of Mother Goose. Parents and children will find themselves exploring this volume together, savoring delightful details and funny surprises on every page. This is a book that promises hours of quiet smiles and merry grins for readers of all ages.

Synopsis:

Folklorist Opie has gathered more than 60 treasured rhymes in their most perfect, honest form. Wells' wonderful watercolors capture the simple joy and the sly humor that are the essence of Mother Goose. (Baby/Preschool)

Synopsis:

Babies and toddlers adore the rhymes of Mother Goose. Their rhythm, so much like the beat of a mother's heart, is the very first sound with which a child falls in love. Now four bright board books based on My Very First Mother Goose, the award-winning new classic, bring these timeless poems to the youngest children in a format designed just for them. Each enchanting: My Very First Mother Goose board book contains eight favorite rhymes collected in their most perfect form by folklorist Iona Opie. Every rhyme is accompanied by the incomparable art of Rosemary Wells, illustrations that The New York Times Book Review called "irresistible". Large letters, a generous page size, and sturdy board pages perfect these treasures and make them indispensable for any nursery.
