Mother Goose Pictures by Scott GustafesonSeptember 30, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is one of the best illustrated books for children that I have seen in years, I bought two copies and gave them to my daughters who are about to be new mothers. The illustrations are by far the best I've come across

This book is beautifully illustrated with classic nursery rhymes from your childhood. It brings back memories for me.
Most of the included nursery rhymes are ones you will remember and enjoy sharing with your children. Don't get all hung up on what a violent world we live in and think that these are bad morals to teach your children, as one other reviewer of nursery rhyme books went into a diatribe about. The sooner your children realize that everyone is not equal and everyone is not a winner, the better off they will be in adulthood. The P.C. movement in the USA is out of control -- there really are winners and losers in life -- so, motivate your children to be winners through hard work, skill and talent! Don't teach them to expect a trophy and pat-on-the-back telling them how wonderful they are when the reality is something quite different. It's time to get back to basics in this country because the coddling of our children over the past 20 years certainly hasn't produced good results (look around and stop blaming nursery rhymes and video games for YOUR POOR PARENTING).
The morals in this book won't hurt anyone and they certainly didn't turn me into a serial killer. So, enjoy this beautiful book with your children -- I know I am!
The most beautiful book ever!July 6, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Nursery ryhmes are so important to learn as a child. As an adult, I know most of them and wanted to teach them to my children. I researched the perfect book that included all the rhymes I remembered. This book was it!! It had all the classic nursery ryhmes I remembered and more! And you will love the illustrations...beautiful! My son (age 4) remembers each picture and will talk about it. You will find so much detail in each illustration that will add to the nursery ryhme even more. I highly recommend this book!
k GrafMay 29, 2008 This book is the perfect gift for a baby especially if they have an older sibling that can read to them. Everyone should have the chance to enjoy the beautiful pictures and rhymes while holding a precious baby.
