Who's Your Mama?
Mother Goose!
Mother Goose is on the Loose
Take a trip down memory lane as you read the nursery rhymes we all grew up on. Here Comes Mother Goose written by Iona Opie is sectioned in four chapters starting with the childhood "jump roap" favorite, "1,2, Buckle My Shoe." Rosemary Wells provides unordinary illustrations that will make any child laugh and giggle as she transforms iconic characters like "Old Mother Hubbard into a cool looking grandma riding on a blue scooter." The illustrations are matched with large print text which is very pleasing to the eye. This would make a nice addition to the classroom or your book shelf at home.
