Presented in sturdy and appealing board books, these best-loved rhymes have been passed on from generation to generation and are here in the ideal format to be encountered at the earliest possible moment and savoured for an entire lifetime. Rosemary Wells' wonderful watercolour pictures create an engaging and exuberant world filled with distinctive characters - rabbits and cats and mice - guaranteed to delight the youngest child.

Rosemary Wells has won many major awards.

From School Library Journal:
PreS--Sixteen selections included in My Very First Mother Goose (Candlewick, 1996) are presented in board-book format. The lively watercolor-and-ink illustrations are identical to the original and often larger, although some pictures have been omitted in a few instances to avoid overcrowding the smaller space. Each rhyme appears in a double-page spread on a colored background that picks up a tone in the illustration. The print is smaller than in the original, but the text is laid out in much the same way or in logical phrases. Libraries that own the earlier book may still wish to purchase these sturdier, smaller books for their youngest patrons.
