Humpty Dumpty: and Other Rhymes (My Very First Mother Goose)

Every rhyme is accompanied by the incomparable art of Rosemary Wells, illustrations that the New York Times Book Review called "irresistible." Large letters and sturdy board pages make these treasures indispensable for any nursery.

These bright board books based on My Very First Mother Goose, the award-winning modern day classic, bring timeless poems to the youngest children. Each of the four enchanting board books contains eight favorite rhymes collected in their most perfect form by folklorist Iona Opie.

Good news for babies everywhere! Literature and lore expert Iona Opie and the indomitable Rosemary Wells have teamed up to create a series of Mother Goose books in a sturdy, cardboard-paged, gnaw-proof format. In Humpty Dumpty and Other Rhymes, eight favorite rhymes are delightfully illustrated, from "Humpty Dumpty" to "Little Jack Horner." Wells comes through again with adorable, expressive bunnies and shyly smiling mice. Larger (and more charmingly illustrated) than many board books, this whole star-studded Mother Goose series is guaranteed to delight your favorite little one. (Baby to preschool)
