Book Reviews of The Real Mother Goose
Book Review: The Best Version Of The World's Coolest Ryhmes
Summary: 5 Stars
This was probably the first title in my life that I designated my favoite book. Around age three this is the book I'd want read to me OVER and OVER. It got to the point where my parents or Grandma would bribe me into letting them read me something else, but, nope, I stuck to my guns and this was the one I wanted. Although by four I knew every rhyme here by heart, I loved hearing them read to me, those magically connecting syllables that were dubbed "rhymes". I also fell in love with the cover on this edition, that witch-looking old lady in the archaic clothes, and several times per session I'd ask whoever was reading to me to stop so I could look at the cover. Then I'd lean as close as I could and peer at the bright colors that surrounded the drab, leering figures. I can remember time and time again getting The Real Mother Goose down to lie flat on the floor and stare at the cover and then examine the pictures inside. It was great stuff!
In retrospect, this book was my first literary love and I still have my copy today. I can't believe anyone would ever have anything but gushing praise for these funny-sounding old words welded into rhymes that speak of olden times. As for me, I still love them all and STILL find myself staring at the somehow macabre cover illustration! This book is just plain awesome.
Summary of The Real Mother Goose
For nearly a century, The Real Mother GooseŽ has delighted young children!This might have been your Mother Goose book when you were young ... or maybe even your great-grandmother's! The Real Mother Goose has been teaching children traditional nursery rhymes since 1916, when the first edition of the book was published; since then, five million copies have been sold in the United States. The cover's familiar black-and-white checkerboard border is still here, as are Blanche Fisher Wright's delicate, old-fashioned illustrations. You'll find more than 200 Mother Goose rhymes, supplemented by an alphabetical list of first lines to help you locate your favorites. This 80th-anniversary edition of the quintessential old-fashioned Mother Goose book has a clothbound cover and reinforced binding to last through several children--and possibly their children. (Ages 2 to 6)
