The Christian Mother Goose Book of Nursery Rhymes

What a great book for young children! I have "The Christian Mother Goose Volume 1" which my son loved as a child! If I had known this book was available I would have bought it too!!! Buy it...your children or grandchildren will love it!! Anyone out there know a publisher? If so, encourage them to have any and all of The Christian Mother Goose series put back into print.

The classic nursery rhymes with a Christian twist. This books is full of words and pictures. This is a book that every Christian parent and grandparent should have in their collection. I would have given 5 stars...but I thought the book should have been illustrated in color through-out (it switches back and forth from color to black and white.) Still...all the illustrations are delightful!

I have been purchasing copies of this book for about five years to give a shower presents for friends expecing a baby. I have given about 25 away so far. My friends who are expecting (mostly church friends) anticipate getting their copy. Some exen ask "When will I get my book??" One reason I like giving this book is that it helps focus the child's attention on our Heavenly Father while it is entertaining them. I am always surprised (and pleased) as the child grows older and quotes the "new" version of the nursery rhyme to me! I have been accused of being a problem maker because at the showers as the gifts are passed around for all to see this book causes a present back-up because people want to read it instead of just looking and passing it on! The other gifts just don't get the sttention this book does. I never have to agonize about what to get for a gift--this book is desired and used to help instruct the children about all the wonders God has wrought. I am grateful to the author and publishers for its existance.

The reason nursery rhymes continue to be so popular is not because of their "mild dark humor" but because they are so great in developing phonetic awareness for kids. Therefore, if you don't care for the negative messages in the traditional nursery rhymes; this book is the answer.

This book takes the traditional nursery rhymes and gives it Christian inspirational messages and meanings. Great Nursery Rhyme Book
