5.0 out of 5 stars Rhymes & Reasons : An Annotated Collection of Mother Goose R, June 28, 2000

This review is from: Rhymes & Reasons (Hardcover)

This was a very well produced book; it is a large book containing beautiful color pictures and a fold out poster. The art is based around a three-paneled painting containing 73 famous and not so famous rhymes. They outright tell you 72 of them and challenge you to guess the last one (the rhyme itself, a history of the rhyme, and often a highlight on where to find the rhyme in the print).

It is extremely fun to look at and read with children, my two children love it. James Christensen's work is absolutely beautiful and so rich in detail and color.

I would give this book two thumbs way up.
