Book Reviews of Mater Anserina: Poems in Latin for Children with Audio CD (Latin Edition)
Book Review: Euge! Matrem Anserinam Amo! -- I Love Mother Goose!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has 28 familiar Mother Goose rhymes, (e.g.: Mary had a Little Lamb), in both Latin and English. The translations preserve the style, whimsy, and rhythm of the original Mother Goose rhymes. Yet in the translations, there is something new to be gained from the Latin verse; a new perspective on these childhood classics.
For the beginner student, there are footnotes at the bottom of each page which explain the vocabulary used. There is also a preface which explains the accentual verses. It is the only preface of recent memory that is itself an interesting read.
The audio CD is well done, with the singing voice very clear. It is fun to sing along in Latin to these old rhymes! In my opinion, it was fascinating to hear these familiar tunes in this new fashion!
My only complaint about the book is this: there are not enough illustrations. To me, each rhyme should have it's own illustration, or almost all. Only nine of the rhymes have an accompianing illustration. The illustrations that are in the book are charming; reminiscent of the pictures in the book, The Real Mother Goose, which has illustratons depicting the time period in which these rhymes were originally written.
To my delight this period depiction was preserved in this book. Again this is a truly great book to have!
