Babies and toddlers adore the rhymes of Mother Goose. Their rhythm, so much like the beat of a mother's heart, is the very first sound with which a child falls in love. Now four bright board books based on My Very First Mother Goose, the award-winning new classic, bring these timeless poems to the youngest children in a format designed just for them. Each enchanting: My Very First Mother Goose board book contains eight favorite rhymes collected in their most perfect form by folklorist Iona Opie. Every rhyme is accompanied by the incomparable art of Rosemary Wells, illustrations that The New York Times Book Review called "irresistible". Large letters, a generous page size, and sturdy board pages perfect these treasures and make them indispensable for any nursery.

A big, beautiful, and lovingly selected book of Mother Goose,
By RebHayton@aol.com (Santa Clara, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Humpty Dumpty: and Other Rhymes (My Very First Mother Goose) (Board book)
My daughter was given this book for her first birthday, and now that she is turning three, it is still her most treasured book. The illustrations are big and colorful, and the large text and one-rhyme-per-page format make it inviting even for the youngest listener. Iona Opie has done a wonderful job of selecting many familiar and some not-so-familiar rhymes to put in this collection. As a parent, I greatly appreciate the fact that all of these rhymes are gentle and loving, so I don't have to worry about "editing" the cruelty found in some other Mother Goose books. I can't say enough about this book except that every child should be lucky enough to own a copy.

A wonderfully illustrated collection of rhymes.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Humpty Dumpty: and Other Rhymes (My Very First Mother Goose) (Board book)
This is one of 4 in a series. The illustrations are bright, colorful, and fun. The rhymes chosen are mostly popular nursery rhymes, but also a few that you may not have heard. Children will love these books!

My daughter loves it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Humpty Dumpty: and Other Rhymes (My Very First Mother Goose) (Board book)
My daughter loved this book. Starting at age 3 months, she would light up every time I started reciting the words. The bright background colors and the rhythm of the words caught her attention.
