Customer Reviews

Great new spin on classic characters - parents will like it too!

I was coordinating 'Family Reading Night' at my local library. We decided to do a Bedtime Story theme and hired someone to play Mother Goose. We bought this book and read it to the kids when we broke into storytime/snack/craft groups. They liked it and the parents thought it was pretty cute too. We gave one copy away and bought one for the library. We have sinced check it out a few times and my kids always enjoy it. Since a Kindergarten teacher told me during the planning that she likes reading Nursery rhymes to youngsters, I have tried to read them to my kids from time to time. So they are somewhat familiar w/ the characters re-tooled in this book.

This book is adourable!!! You'll get to stroll down memory lane, with clever twists on familiar rhymes with many of the Mother Goose stories coliding into one . The artwork is wonderful and vivid, the text very lyrical, both my 20-month old and I love it!
