Bibliographic Info: Wright, B. F. (1944). The Real Mother Goose. Illus. Blanche Fisher Wright. New York, New York: Checkerboard Press.
Annotation: This book is full of 128 pages of Mother Goose rhymes accompanied by illustrations. It has all of the classics including, "Little Bo-Peep", "Three Blind Mice" and "Jack and Jill" and many more not so mainstream rhymes such as "Lengthening Days" and "Young Lambs to Sell".
Genre: Nursery Rhymes
Grade Level: PK-3
Readers who will like this book: Adults will enjoy revisiting some forgotten rhymes while children will love hearing the new rhymes and putting illustrations to them.
Personal response: This is a nice book because it has such a large selection of nursery rhymes, but it is not my taste. The illustrations are a little too much for a children's nursery rhyme book. I have had this book since a child and it has never really appealed to me, past or present. I rate this book at a 2, only because of the amount of selection.
A question you would ask before reading: Has anyone ever heard the tale of ______? (Whichever rhyme you decide to read aloud).
