Customer Reviews

The Best. Period.

There is absolutely no Mother Goose edition that can hold a flame to this one, and I've looked at a lot of them. They either lack in the illustrations or in the rhyme selections. Cooper Edens has selected exquisite illustrations for each of the rhymes here. All the old favorites are included and a number of lesser known ones to keep it novel. A great buy. A must-have in my home library.

Captivating, old-fashioned illustrations

The illustration of Humpty Dumpty in this collection has won the heart of our 14 month old daughter (and her parents). The book is full of favorite rhymes and classic illustrations. And it even has a few of the "politically incorrect" ones .
