The Alaska Mother Goose,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Alaska Mother Goose: North Country Nursery Rhymes (PAWS IV) (Paperback)
Having this book since I was a baby, I have loved it up until now. I think I always will! The Alaska Mother Goose, by Shelly Gill and Illustrations by Shannon Cartwright, is a book filled with different rhymes about animals, and the habits that they do in Alaska. The book describes each animal, starting out with snow geese, then to the end with a child, gazing at the Northern Lights. The poems are hilarious and lighthearted. The sea otter floats without a care, the black bears mouths turn blue from eating too many berries, and a porcupine's prickles get filled with berries from sitting on a cranberry bog! At the end of the book, there is a glossary filled with every animal mentioned in the book describing its name, and what it is. If you want to get your child more familiar with animals, I think this book is perfect. It's very realistic and informational! Humorous at the same time.

This review is from: The Alaska Mother Goose: North Country Nursery Rhymes (PAWS IV) (Paperback)
As you may guess from the title, this book is comprised of variations on Mother Goose rhymes with a theme of wildlife found in Alaska. The author has a wonderful command of words and I love the images she creates. The delightful illustrations compliment the text well. The rhymes have the charm of traditional Mother Goose rhymes, but are mixed with inspiring images of nature rather than images of violence (the baby and cradle falling, etc.). I am so happy to have run across this book.

This review is from: The Alaska Mother Goose: North Country Nursery Rhymes (PAWS IV) (Paperback)
My daughter particularly loves the Alaskan version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" We live in Alaska, and she has seen the northern lights--she learned "Twinkle Twinkle Northern Lights" first. This is a great book
