Mother Goose: A Collection of Classic Nursery Rhymes

I've borrowed this collection from my public library, and now it's time to buy a copy for my daycare. I have some very short board book collections of Mother Goose that are appropriate for children two and younger, but this collection is perfect for three to five-year old children. I teach preschool and have searched and searched for the perfect collection of classic nursery rhymes. Michael Hague's illustrations are lovely art, not cartoonish like so many nursery rhyme collections. The selections of rhymes are not complete but they are sufficient. Most of the better known rhymes like "Little Boy Blue", "Mary Had a Little Lamb", "Three Blind Mice", and others are here, along with lesser known. But what I particularly like is that the entire book of 58 pages can easily and enjoyably be read in one sitting. I like to read and reread stories and rhymes that I want my children to remember. It is a joy with this collection of Mother Goose by Michael Hague.

It has alot of the Nursery Rhymes that I grew up on, it was good then and is still good now.

This is the definative mursery rhyme book. It has all the classics and a few I was not familliar with. Either way, beautifully written. Illistrations you will want to frame, and the children are facinated by at an early age. This will be my 2nd purchase of this title since my grandchildren can't get enough. The more times I read it the closer we have become. This is an heirloom at our house. Hope you enjoy as much as we have.
