Review

For parents pure of heart and intention, the Real Mother Goose is the only way to fly. And this sturdy little board book, chock full of best-loved rhymes from the classic edition is sure to enchant readers of all ages. Old-fashioned illustrations by Blanche Fisher Wright may appeal especially to the older set, but the pastel tones, pretty images, and traditional nursery rhyme scenes will definitely strike a chord with the very youngest readers, too. Edwardian-looking girls and boys frolic with geese and pigs, gaze at stars, and jump over candlesticks. Fifteen of the simplest rhymes were chosen for this collection, including Jack and Jill, Ring Around the Rosies, One, Two, Buckle My Shoe, and Baa, Baa, Black Sheep. Wright's lovely Mother Goose illustrations can also be found in The Original Mother Goose and another baby-friendly board book, The Real Mother Goose. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
