The Real Mother GooseA treasure from your great-grandmother’s nursery! This timeless classic was first published in 1916. Its 128 pages are stuffed with more than 200 (!) classic nursery rhymes and beautiful color illustrations drawn by Blanche Fisher Wright. Some illustrations are rather small, while other drawings take up a whole page. The new edition has reinforced binding and a clothbound cover, so it should last a little longer. As this book has fewer images and more text than other Mother Goose collections, it is more suitable for children slightly older—ages 4 years and up. |
