Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreS Up-What makes this Mother Goose collection stand out from the others is the nostalgic charm of its illustrations. Each of the 42 popular rhymes is accompanied by interpretations by two different children's book illustrators from the late 19th and early 20th century, including L. Leslie Brooke, Randolph Caldecott, Walter Crane, Kate Greenaway, John Lawson, and Arthur Rackham. The contrasting styles of the paintings, which are presented in both color and black and white, make for interesting browsing. While the artist and date for each of the paintings are provided, there is no index of illustrators and no further information about their styles and techniques, which limits the book's usefulness for students of book illustration and the history of children's literature. Still, with its lovely reproductions by "The Best Artists from the Past," this will make a fine additional purchase.

Captivating, old-fashioned illustrations,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Glorious Mother Goose Reissue (Hardcover)
The illustration of Humpty Dumpty in this collection has won the heart of our 14 month old daughter (and her parents). The book is full of favorite rhymes and classic illustrations. And it even has a few of the "politically incorrect" ones .
4.0 out of 5 stars
not exactly what I expected,

This review is from: The Glorious Mother Goose Reissue (Hardcover)
This book was not exactly what I expected but is still nice. The cover had no pictures, it looks like a library edition without the sleeve, which I did not order. This edition included several rhymes that I wanted but could not find in one verion together which is a plus, but they don't have the additional verses that I sing to my daughter so she was dissapointed as well. The illustrations are wonderful in this book. Overall its good if you are looking for short rhymes but if you are wanting the full versions get something else.
5.0 out of 5 stars
The Best. Period.,
By Elizabeth Rose Augustine "Bibliophile" (Whidbey Island, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Glorious Mother Goose Reissue (Hardcover)
There is absolutely no Mother Goose edition that can hold a flame to this one, and I've looked at a lot of them. They either lack in the illustrations or in the rhyme selections.
Cooper Edens has selected exquisite illustrations for each of the rhymes here. All the old favorites are included and a number of lesser known ones to keep it novel. A great buy. A must-have in my home library.
