Product Description
From the vast and colorful imagination of Mary Engelbreit springs a Mother Goose world bursting with warmth and humor. All the favorite time-honored characters are here -- Little Bo-Peep, Humpty Dumpty, Old King Cole, Jack and Jill, and many, many more, along with such treats as a mouse running up the clock, piggies going to market, and children dancing round the mulberry bush. As complete as can be with one hundred rhymes in all, this is truly a book to treasure. It's a masterful collection of the adorable, the zany, and the beautiful that will be cherished for generations.

 Classic Mother Goose October 8, 2008
Melanie D. Mcbride (San Diego, CA)
I love this book, and so does my 3-year-old. Some of the pictures lend a more modern twist to the stories. For example, "4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie" are pictured as birds half in half out of a fruit pie, with the suggestion that they are eating the berries (rather than the original intention which was something more like a blackbird pot pie). Instead of cottage cheese, the curds and whey are illustrated as oatmeal with sugar and cream. However, it is wonderful enjoying mother goose all over again with my daughter, and I've already bought this book for my nieces, too.

I love this book--I have bought it for all the new babies to arrive in the family, as well as a copy for myself. I love Mary Engelbreit's illustrations--they are so colorful. A good book to read to children of all ages.

Just received this book today and it is so beautifully illustrated! Very impressed! I am so excited to give it to my new grandson. Lots of wonderful poems also - many I haven't heard of. New adventures!! Highly recommend this book

Classic, great for the car! April 2, 2008

My 4yo daughter has had the book that goes with this CD for a couple of years, and we've loved the illustrations and verse - some of the "harsher" poems, such as "The Old Lady Who lived in a Shoe" are modified slightly, so that "she kissed them all sweetly" instead of "whipped them all soundly". If you're a purist that may bother you, but I love it. The CD is what it is - a simple reading of the poems by a grandmotherly sounding Lynn Redgrave. Very soothing, very sweet. We love to listen to it in the car, and my girls have already memorized several of the poems. I'm glad I finally decided to buy this!

I was expecting something else, I'm not to happy
with the CD. My expectations were not met.
