Pat-a-Cake,” “Simple Simon,” “Rock-a-bye, Baby:” these and the many other rhymes that make up Mother Goose have become almost as much a staple of child-rearing as the rattle and the bottle. Little ones love its mix of lullabies and limericks, humor and sing-song verse, and they learn from it too. Gyo Fujikawa brought her inimitable style to this version, which features a mix of enchanting line drawings and warm color pictures. Adorable mice, led by a duck in uniform, man the boat in “I Saw a Ship a-Sailing.” A multicultural group of children circle round “The Mulberry Bush.” And “The Three Kittens” have never been cuter. Fujikawa has succeeded in creating a truly magical world for kids to enter.

My grandmother read this book to me over and over again when I was very small. I loved the illustrations, especially the one for "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" at the end of the book that shows a tiny child watching the stars outside at night. This book captured my imagination and stirred my senses like no other. I hope it will last through my own children and maybe my grandchildren, too!

My parents bought this book for me when I was a little girl. It is the first book I remember picking up to read on my own. I could spend hours and hours leafing through the pages, memorizing the wonderful nursery rhymes, and enjoying the delightful, whimsical illustrations. I have many, many wonderful memories of this Mother Goose edition, and have kept it safely tucked away to be read to my own children, which, happily, I am now able to do. It would be a great service to other young parents out there if you would PLEASE consider reprinting this book. I know I'd be buying at least 4 copies right away.

They don't make them like this anymore. A beautifully illustrated book. I had "Oh, What a Busy Day" as a child and we looked at the pictures over and over again- never got tired of it. Hoping my child will think the same of this one.
