Synopsis
To a small child, words are magical. And the most magical of all are the beloved, venerable words of Mother Goose. Now folklorist Iona Opie has gathered more than sixty treasured rhymes in their most perfect, honest form. From "Hey Diddle, Diddle" and "Pat-a-Cake" to "Little Jack Horner" and "Pussycat, Pussycat," these are familiar verses that have been passed from parent to child for generations; these are the rhymes that are every child's birthright. With watercolors by Rosemary Wells that may prove equally enduring, MY VERY FIRST MOTHER GOOSE captures the simple joy and the sly humor that are the essence of Mother Goose. Parents and children will find themselves exploring this volume together, savoring delightful details and funny surprises on every page. This is a book that promises hours of quiet smiles and merry grins for readers of all ages.

- a***a (77)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent packaging, I appreciated that the seller thoroughly labeled the package as fragile. Shipping wasn’t the quickest, but considering it stayed at a distribution hub for a few days, it might have gotten misplaced for a bit. The artwork has seen better days, but I knew that before purchasing it. The seller was both very good at showing the damaged areas in the photos on the listing and being frank in the description about how and where it was damaged that you couldn’t on the photos.
- i***a (456)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI was very happy to find this edition of a vintage education book, complete with dustcover, at a price and shipping cost that I could afford. It is in good condition, as described, was well-packed for shipping, and was delivered in good time.
