This is a great book full of Mother Goose nursery rhymes! The illustrations in this book are fabulous. Each illustration goes along with the rhyme very well. This book is full of classic nursery rhymes that are wonderful to read to a child. This book is also great to give to a child who is learning to read. I recommend this book for all children, especially those who love nursey rhymes! ( )

This book of poems is a great book for children. This book has all of the classic mother goose rhymes that children love.The illustrations in this book are fun as well.

My mother used to read this book to me when I was younger, it was one of my favorites because I loved mother goose rhymes.

1. Pat-A-Cake the teacher would bring cupcakes and the children would get to decorate and eat the cupcakes.

2. For "there was an old was an old woman" you would do shoe activities. We could learn to tie shoes that day, then ask questions like "why do we wear shoes"?

Book description
A compendium of many, many nursery rhymes – some well-known and some obscure to modern ears. Includes a standard table of contents, immediately followed by an alphabetical index. Dual indexing is useful, as the rhymes themselves are arranged with little space between them. Color illustrations are relevant and proximate to the text they reference, but the connection with the text isn’t always obvious. Students and early readers may need some navigation help. A good solid resource.
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0590225170, Hardcover)

Seven beloved verses from Old Mother Goose are imbued with a little more "feeling" with this interactive version of the classic. Young children can stroke the white horse's silky mane in "Banbury Cross," feel the dog's smooth red satin suit in "The Cat and the Fiddle," and dig their tiny fingers into the soft wool of the sheep in "Mary Had a Little Lamb." There's even a scratch-and-sniff spice cake in "Pat-a-Cake"! Tots will love this introduction to the nursery rhymes that will carry them through childhood and beyond. Old-fashioned, Edwardian-style illustrations will please readers of all ages, and the simple two-page-spread format, with poems on the left and pictures on the right, is clean and attractive. The miniature board book is just the right size and sturdiness for small hands and new teeth. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
