Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes is Beatrix Potter's second collection of nursery rythmes, the first being Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes. Some are familiar like "Three Blind Mice" and "This Pig Went to Market", while others such as "The Guinea-Pig's Garden" are her own. As always the illustrations are lovely and I especially like the two for the "Cecily Parsley" verse. This little book is perfect for young children.

This cute little book was written and illustrated by the great Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) in 1922. The book contains such beloved nursery rhymes as Goosey, Goosey, Gander, and Three Blind Mice, each with Ms. Potter's wonderful illustrations. This is a very nice book, and another great example of Ms. Potter's work. I highly recommend it!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes (Potter 23 Tales) (Hardcover)

This is a very cute little book of seven nursery ryhmes, Beatrix Potter style. It is, of course, illustrated with little animals as the characters, showing exactly what the rhyme would be. It is cute, and the rhymes are nice to just memorize and teach to your brothers, sisters, or little cousins. This is yet another great Beatrix Potter book. I especially like the little rhyme about farming and the little guiena pigs are working hard. They are so cute, especially the one with the little green raincoat. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes animals.
