The Classic Mother Goose - Hardcover

From the short-and-sweet "Jack Be Nimble" (three lines total) to the more fleshed-out "This Is the House That Jack Built," this classic Mother Goose collection will delight children, especially when read aloud. Though the rhymes will certainly be familiar (how many times have you seen tiny baby toes and launched into "This little piggy went to market..."?), this edition has a fresh new look. Colorful illustrations by eight different artists--ranging from the quiet, pastel tones of "Rock-a-Bye Baby" to the more boisterous style of "Jack Sprat"--accompany the text of this fine volume. The Classic Mother Goose is sure to become a treasured and perhaps tattered favorite.
