I really enjoyed Sylvia Long's rendition of Mother Goose! There weren't as many rhymes as there were in some of the other books. There are only 83 rhymes, but she was able to fit on ryhme, or a portion of the rhyme on each page with a full sized illustration. The pictures were large, full of color, and they really grabbed the attention of the reader. The pictures were full of detail and they represented the ryhme very well. I loved the ribbon place holder as well as the detailed index. The rhyme...more

Bright and energetic illustrations match the rhymes of mother gooses nursery rhymes. Parents and children can enjoy the stories through the pictures. There are many connecting pictures between the stories.
Beautiful, detailed illustrations with an excellent selection of poems. I especially enjoyed that some characters recurred on several pages, such as a mother bird.
I love the illustrations in this version! Also, there were some rhymes I had never heard before, and the DC love it!
my favorite edition- love the illustrations esp the roseate spoonbill in hey diddle diddle.
This is a wonderful Mother Goose collection that Anthony and I have enjoyed reading.
Every night. With my toddler.
Beautifully illustrated edition.

The best Mother Goose that I've come across. Wonderful illustrations. Includes almost all of the nursery rhymes that I remember plus many I never knew. Long interprets them all in her illustrations in a very compassionate and humane way. Not always an easy task for nursery rhymes!
The illustrations are amazing throughout! The King on the Sing a Song of Sixpence is the finest rendering of a monarch ever!
Notes:
lovely illustrations
like this one almost as much as "pocketful of posies"
