About this title

Review:

This might have been your Mother Goose book when you were young ... or maybe even your great-grandmother's! The Real Mother Goose has been teaching children traditional nursery rhymes since 1916, when the first edition of the book was published; since then, five million copies have been sold in the United States. The cover's familiar black-and-white checkerboard border is still here, as are Blanche Fisher Wright's delicate, old-fashioned illustrations. You'll find more than 200 Mother Goose rhymes, supplemented by an alphabetical list of first lines to help you locate your favorites. This 80th-anniversary edition of the quintessential old-fashioned Mother Goose book has a clothbound cover and reinforced binding to last through several children--and possibly their children. (Ages 2 to 6)

From the Back Cover:

There are many collections of Mother Goose rhymes, but there is only one Real Mother Goose! Now the best-loved rhymes from the classic edition are available in this sturdy board book edition for the youngest child.
