Richard Scarry's Best Mother Goose Ever

I have fond memories of reading Richard Scarry books with my siblings when I was very young. We always enjoyed the wonderful, whimsical, clever and colorful illustrations and that made reading the book so fun! We loved playing a version of “I spy “ as we looked at the pictures. I didn’t expect the large sized book so I was delighted to be able to look at the illustrations with such detail. On the third page there is an Index of First Lines and page number of the 50 or so rhymes in the book. Unfortunately, the copy I received has several or more pages that are torn and the cover is coming apart ( a bit) from the spine. I chose to buy a “good” copy but I would say the book is more on the “acceptable” side.

If you read to your children, this is a nicely illustrated book and the stories are classic. This will surely be a family favorite. Hardcover is available if I'm not mistaken. This large format paper-back may be out of print. If you can find it, get it.

This collection of nursery rhymes is a classic. It has all the ones I remember as a child and more. The pictures are big and funny. It is so much fun to read. I can hardly wait to read it during story time for my daughter.

This collection of nursery rhymes and illustrations are a classic.I deeply enjoyed them as a kid and now my children enjoy this as a good read. Truly a delightful book.

I've been looking for a great general book of nursery rhymes and this one fits the bill. It is just as great as the rest of the Scarry books and provides exactly what I was looking for. Can't go wrong!

The large sized illustrations, the bright colors and the rhymes themselves all made this book the favorite with our 5 children. We have gone through 2 copies, now reduced to loose pages, and need to order 2 more for new grandchildren (both age 5 months)
