Customer Reviews

She Is a Mother and a Goose.

The title to this collection of nursery rhymes is song lyrics is rather misleading because 1/3 to 1/2 of the rhymes in this book aren't actually from "Mother Goose". However, there is a mother goose on the cover reading stories to various animal children. All of the illustrations in the books are of human-like animals. There are only 22 total different rhymes, but the book is small and young children will enjoy having it read to them and looking through the pictures.

Misleading title, but good for the younger reader

I'm sure I'm not alone in the open-minded fraternity in trying to widen my experiences, so thought I would bite the bullet and purchase this book. It's considerably different from what I was expecting, but none-the-poorer for that. I don't want to ruin the story for anyone, but to avoid people falling into elephant traps as I did, essentially there is an actual goose who is actually the mother to an actual gosling. As my fellow reviewer points out, it's also a small book, which might be useful if your pockets aren't too big.

good little introduction to Mother Goose for babies/toddlers

I got this book as a baby shower gift and began reading it to my daughter when she was a tiny infant. She's 19 months old now and still loves it. I think it's a great way to introduce your child to rhyme. Plus, it's small enough so you can stick it in a purse or pocket and read it together while waiting in line at the post office, grocery store, etc.
