Babushka's Mother Goose

Polacco, P. (1995). Babushka's Mother Goose. Illus. Patricia Polacco. New York, New York: Philomel Books.

Annotation: This is a Ukranian version of mother goose. It takes after Patricia Polacco's heritage. There are a collection of short rhymes and poems based on her heritage. Some of the stories parallel some of our tradition nursery rhymes, but some of them have their own twist and flare.
Genre: Fiction/Poetry
Grade level: K-4th
Readers who will like this: This would be a good book for young kids that are being introduced to poetry. The fantasy part of it makes the book more of an enjoyable read.
Response/Rating: I give this book a 2. I didn't care for the illustrations and the poems and rhymes were okay, but nothing that was unique and captivating.
Question: Have you ever heard a story from your heritage that seems similar to a poem or rhyme that you remember from the mother goose series?
