Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1–A popular artist has illustrated 100 nursery rhymes in her distinctive style, reminiscent of the work of Kate Greenaway and Tasha Tudor. Historian and critic Leonard S. Marcus provides an introduction about the staying power of Mother Goose rhymes, and Engelbreits afterword discusses her illustration process. Well-known rhymes are included, along with some that will be less familiar to both children and adults. No more than three rhymes appear on any spread, giving the layout a clean, uncluttered look. The illustrations feature children and adults of various ethnicities and ages, although almost all have the simple rounded faces and bodies for which the artist is known. Engelbreit has outfitted her characters, both fantastic and human, in a variety of period clothes, from medieval to more contemporary. Most have an English look to them–little boys wear short pants and knee socks, and little girls wear flowered dresses and pinafores. There are occasional comic touches, like the pussycat coming back from visiting the queen in shades and a pink coat, and with lots of luggage. Endpapers feature old-fashioned pastel renderings of well-known nursery-rhyme characters. This volume is likely to prove popular with children and Engelbreits adult following. A solid collection that would be useful in any library.–Barbara Chatton, College of Education, University of Wyoming, Laramie

Favorite of ALL of my grandchildren!
I bought my first copy in 2006 when our first grand baby came. It was his favorite book. It used it again when our 2nd grandchild came in 2009. It was her favorite book. Although getting worn, I used it again when the 3rd grandchild came in 2015. It is his favorite! After so much use some of the pages are coming out. The 2nd grandchild was so attached to it she said to ALWAYS keep that book. I found this new copy of the book at Amazon's and gave it to her at Christmas. When she opened the present she cried. That says it all!

As a former teacher, I give books for baby showers. And this is one of my favorites. I love the illustrations; they are so charming and whimsical. And the rhymes are classics. Such a good book to read to baby, to toddlers, and to young readers. It's a bedtime necessity!

5.0 out of 5 stars Keepsake quality -- unbelievable books for a steal
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2010
Verified Purchase
I grew up on these verses (as well as the stories in Mary Englebreit's "Nursery Tales" book) and wanted my daughter to enjoy them as well. However, I was saddened to find that these timeless classics are hard to come by anymore. My daughter is 18 months old and adores these books. I was worried at first about buying a book with paper pages but she hasn't torn a single page -- she's too busy enjoying the illustrations. There are so many verses that we never make it all the way through the book in one night but circle through the books over and over throughout the week; she never tires of the verses. They're just so much fun to read and the illustrations cannot be beat -- the colors are so vibrant, the images match the verses perfectly and my daughter loves to stare at the pictures as we read. The price for this book makes it an absolute STEAL. I have decided that from now on when I know someone is having a baby, I will purchase these books as a shower gift for them because they're such high quality that they're truly keepsakes. My mom was a kindergarten teacher for nearly 30 years and she laments the loss of these old verses and Nursery tales that teach so much about morals and inspire expanded vocabularies by making words fun. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this book and the Nursery Tales book by Mary Englebreit.
