(3) PS Illustrated by Rosemary Wells. Selected from Opie and Wells's My Very First Mother Goose and Here Comes Mother Goose, fourteen number-related nursery rhymes and their accompanying illustrations are compiled here in board-book form. This mix of well-known and less-familiar verses, along with Wells's captivating and appealing art, shine a spotlight on the riches within the larger collections.

(1) PS Illustrated by Rosemary Wells. This companion volume to My Very First Mother Goose is even more successful than the first--more cohesive in terms of quality of art and totality of design, more venturesome in the selection of the nursery rhymes. The book as a physical object is stunning, and Wells's art is captivating, even vigorous. So here comes Mother Goose--and, to those who welcome this book into their lives, many, many hours of shared reading pleasure.
