Customer Reviews

Where is Mother Goose?

As a child I loved my Mother Goose rhymes in my Child Craft Books and the illustrations. As an adult I continue to love the Silly Ones! The cartoons with this book are an extra added feature! This is a great book!

Amusing variants of the rhymes themselves

Compiled and edited by Bobbye S. Goldstein, Mother Goose On The Loose With Cartoons From "The New Yorker" is a humorous and engaging satire of the classic mother goose nursery rhymes. Chuckle-inducing, thought-provoking cartoons and caricatures spoofing the adventures of Little Bo Peep, the Cow that Jumped Over the Moon, and many more as well as amusing variants of the rhymes themselves comprise this highly enjoyable parody. "When Jack climbed up the beanstalk / A mean giant he did meet, / So Jack slid down the beanstalk / And made a fast retreat!"
