A Treasury of Mother Goose Rhymes Review
A new collection of old and familiar nursery rhymes -- rhymes that stay alive from generation to generation because they move in lively rhythms. The words of these old favorites roll easily from the tongue, whether they be full of wisdom, humor or just plain nonsense. Many are fine poetry and serve as an important introduction to our literature. Hilda Offen's illustrations are very much in keeping with the spirit of the old familiar words. They will be a lasting joy to readers and listeners, young and old. User Submitted A Treasury of Mother Goose Rhymes ReviewsJanuary 18, 2008 Mother Goose Rhymes Book This is a wonderful book for reading to children. I purchased this from Amazon.com because I was unable to find it in stores where I live. I will be ordering again. March 9, 2006 Not as great as it should be My mother ordered this book for my sister's baby because she wanted a good source of Mother Goose Rhymes (every child should know them!). Unfortunately, this book does not fit the bill. The rhymes are all there, but the illustrations are definitely lacking. Some are not even colored and are too small to see. My mother was profoundly disappointed, and I was too when we saw the book. I know there's a good Mother Goose book out there. This one is not it. September 30, 2005 Great book My three-year-old daughter loves this book! She loves the illustrations. One problem - she doesn't know what a lot of them mean, and truthfully, sometimes neither do I. While some of the characters are mainstays of our culture, like Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater and Jack Sprat, others could be very easily forgotten. November 20, 1999 Beautifully illustrated, very complete book of nursery rhyme My children, now 10 & 8 loved this book. It has all the nursery rhymes I had forgotten and more.
