Customer Reviews

Wonderful Illustrations!

I purchased this book as a shower gift for a friend a few years ago. When I found out I was expecting my own little one, I searched high and low to find it again for myself! The illustrations in this book are beautiful - full of color and excitement. And the Mother Goose verses are just as I remember them from my childhood. So many times in other books I have found that the words have been changed. But that is not the case with this book. My 5-month old loves looking at all the pretty pictures and listening to the nursery rhymes being read to him. I'm sure once he gets bigger, he'll love carrying the book around by the handy plastic handle. I would recommend this book to anyone, young or old!

sturdy and fun

I've been reading this book to my daugther since she was born and at one year old it's still her favorite. She loves the bright, happy pictures of animals that are not overly simple but not too complex. Nice collection of Mother Goose rhymes that are short enough that she doesn't get bored and fun to read.

The Favorite of the Favorites!!!

My nice neighbor gave my son this book when he was born. My husband reads to him everyday, and it is his favorite book. He loves the illustration, and the short rhymes. He gets so happy with one glance of the cover. Highly recommends this book to a newborn. He's 8 months and still loves it!

Beautiful illustrations!!

The illustrations in this book are gorgeous! It is so difficult to find children's books with really beautiful pictures, but this is one of the loveliest I have seen. The colorful pictures to the classic Mother Goose rhymes captivate my one year old daughter. The pictures are so colorful and detailed that there is quite a bit for a child to look at. Cute little bunnies, squirrels, cats and other wildlife bring the old rhymes to life. I am very glad that this is a sturdy board book because it is read over and over and still looks as good as new! The handle makes it easy for my daughter to carry around. This book is a must for any small child! You won't be sorry.

Wonderful Illustration's!

My two year old has loved this board book since she got it! We read it 10 times every day. It is especially cute with the clasp and handle which, by the way, I was worried those would break and fall off from too much abuse. Happy to say the entire book is still in tact after months of use! My daughter loves to carry it around by the handle.
