"The words one first meets in nursery rhymes will always have a special magic," writes Iona Opie in her foreword to this book. "Hey Diddle, Diddle", "Humpty Dumpty", "Jumping Joan", "Wee Willie Winkie", passed on from generation to generation, these rhymes learnt in infancy remain with us forever. Divided into four enticing sections, My Very First Mother Goose contains more than sixty of the most colourful and best-loved nursery rhymes. But what makes it so special are the wonderful watercolour pictures by Rosemary Wells, who has created an engaging and exuberant world filled with distinctive characters - rabbits and cats and mice - guaranteed to delight the youngest child. This is indeed a very first book, a book to be encountered at the earliest possible moment and savoured for an entire lifetime.

Review:
Should we add Mother Goose to the list of endangered species? Possibly. The advent of television and our increasingly busy schedules tend to crowd such treasures as lullabies and fairy tales from the lives of our children--unless of course they come to us courtesy of the Disney Corporation. Fortunately, we have British folklorist Iona Opie and illustrator Rosemary Wells there to serve as our last line of defence against the disappearance of Mother Goose and her menagerie of animals and humans. Together, the pair has collaborated on an enchanting collection of Mother Goose rhymes that should help ensure that these charming little poems remain a part of our culture for at least another generation or two.
Review:
Nursery rhyme annthologies are ubiquitous, but this is special. New aunts, uncles, godparents and grandparents need seek no further. * The Sunday Times * This is, without a doubt, the mother of all rhyme books. * The Sunday Telegraph *
