Book Reviews of Dan Yaccarino's Mother Goose (A Golden Classic)
Book Review: Getting my goose
Summary: 3 Stars
Googling "Mother Goose" yields conflicting factoids. Maybe she was a colonial housewife who collected and edited old English rhymes. Maybe she was a French Queen with webbed toes (all that royal inbreeding, I guess) who loved a good story ... or the rhymes were or weren't meant as political satires. The explanation I found most satisfying is that these remnants of longer folk tales and narrative rhymes were passed down through countless generations and translated across languages and cultures.
Yaccarino brings a selection into our post-modern world with `50s-retro illustrations and a 21st century sensibility. Peter Piper picks chili peppers and Mary's little lamb stalks her by taxi. I would've loved more - where's the butcher, the baker and candlestick maker? And Mother Goose's poem is truncated to a single stanza. Maybe he thought little kids wouldn't sit still for more. Generations have proved him wrong.
Summary of Dan Yaccarino's Mother Goose (A Golden Classic)
POPULAR ILLUSTRATOR DAN Yaccarino brings his unique style to the familiar realm of Mother Goose. His witty, bold graphics, set in the city, give the rhymes a fresh perspective. In this lush jacketed hardcover edition, Little Miss Muffet flips her curds and whey when she meets a spider at the diner, and Mary?s little lamb hails a cab to follow Mary to school!Animals Books
