Reviews

[Tanya]

Loved it, especially the stories “Cheese, Peas, and Chocolate Pudding” and “Johnny Littlejohn.” Beautifully illustrated, high interest vintage stories and poems perfect for ages 3-6. I know I’ll be reading it again and again.

I loved this book when I was a kid. My grandmother used to read this to my sister and me and we loved her little voices. When my sister in law was pregnant with my niece, I bought a used edition off of Amazon for A LOT of money and gave it to her for the baby shower.

The best stories are "Cheese, Peas, and Chocolate Pudding" and "Mrs. Goose's Hatbox Cake."
