Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes (Peter Rabbit)

Her illustrations are always exquisite. But this little book is one of her best illustrated.

This cute little book was written and illustrated by the great Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) in 1922. The book contains such beloved nursery rhymes as Goosey, Goosey, Gander, and Three Blind Mice, each with Ms. Potter's wonderful illustrations. This is a very nice book, and another great example of Ms. Potter's work. I highly recommend it!

This is a very cute little book of seven nursery ryhmes, Beatrix Potter style. It is, of course, illustrated with little animals as the characters, showing exactly what the rhyme would be. It is cute, and the rhymes are nice to just memorize and teach to your brothers, sisters, or little cousins. This is yet another great Beatrix Potter book. I especially like the little rhyme about farming and the little guiena pigs are working hard. They are so cute, especially the one with the little green raincoat. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes animals.~Camille

Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes is Beatrix Potter's second collection of nursery rythmes, the first being Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes. Some are familiar like "Three Blind Mice" and "This Pig Went to Market", while others such as "The Guinea-Pig's Garden" are her own. As always the illustrations are lovely and I especially like the two for the "Cecily Parsley" verse. This little book is perfect for young children.

Gentle nursery rhymes with age old wisdom that envelope babies, young children, and parents alike greet you in this classic collection of eight children's nursery rhyme's. The softly washed water color world of Beatrix Potter's pallet coaxes you into the imaginary world of Ceclily Parsely, a mouse who, "...lived in a pen and brewed good ale for gentlemen; Gentlemen came every day Till Cecily Parsley ran away." There are other known characters in this collection as well. Goosy Goosy Gander also wanders through the pages acommpanied by those five little fingertip-pigs who go to market, stay at home, eat meat,have none, and the littlest one who goes crying all the way home, wee wee wee! The Three Blind Mice and Ninny Nanny Netticoat, the first riddle every child should hear and know, also bring life to this delightful 4"x5.5" (approximate size) child-sized book. The innoncence of childhood is captured in Potter's muted tones while the rhythm and rhymes of the poems encourage and develop the young child's delight in language-play while it also encourages the love of language. For the sheer pleasure of hearing a young child's laughter, cuddle up and read this book to him or her.
