MaMa Goose is a comprehensive collection of rhymes and poems for children, many of which brought back treasured memories of my own childhood. The editors, Edelen Wille, have made the rhymes all the more special by combining them with vintage pictures that stimulate the imagination and help bring the characters of each ryhme to life. The result is a truly beautiful and creative book that has already brought me immense enjoyment as I wait for the arrival or our daughter. I know our family will treasure this book for many years to come.

MaMa Goose is the perfect gift for expecting parents or new arrivals.

Mama Goose by Edelen Wille is a wonderfully whimsical adaptation of the classic poems that I grew up with. Since first discovering it, I have given it as a gift to several friends, and it has been such a hit at baby showers: the illustrations are full of vitrant colors, and the book itself is so well-crafted that it looks great displayed on a bedside desk or coffee table. I also love the story behind the making of the book: that two creative sisters-in-law, with several kids of their own, decided to put their own artistic twist on these perennial favorites.

It truly is the perfect baby gift!

My children (ages 1 and 4) simply adore this book. With its vintage illustrations and linen-like cover it is as beautiful as nursery decor as it is fun to read. I am so disappointed to see that it is out of print! I have given it as a gift at several baby showers, and it always receives such rave reviews. Scour your local bookstores for copies before it's too late! Every family with children should own this wonderful collection.

Since I grew up in a large household, my mother and father had to find ways to keep 6 curious and inquisitive children busy. To this day, I still remember spending hours reading books such as Currier and Ives, Mother Goose and other coffee-table books that were always lying around in our house. MA MA Goose is a book that would have received a lot of attention in my house. The wonderful illustrations, large print - easy to follow by young and old - and the impressive number of rhymes makes it a book that will be remembered by a new generation of readers. The red ribbon place keeper is a nice touch! Especially when children are dying to hear the story from the night before.

Growing up as a child my mother and father always had wonderful books lying around for their inquisitive and curious children to peruse. I remember Currier and Ives, Mother Goose, and other wonderful coffee-table books that sparked the imaginations of my five siblings and me. To this day, I remember spending hours looking through and reading these books. Ma Ma Goose will provide a new generation of readers with memories that they will cherish when they have grown. The illustrations are wonderful, the print is large enough for young readers and old timers to follow and the book has an impressive collection of old favorites and one's I had never seen before. It's a wonderful book that children will love to carry around. Oh yeah, I love the red-ribbon place keeper too.

The print is large and every page is in full color- my first grader loves it and reads it to her little sister.
