PS
McPhail enters the crowded Mother Goose field with this affable collection of sixty-three nursery rhymes and seven interspersed short sections of concepts. Each spread is devoted to one or two mostly familiar poems, and the playful illustrations are afforded plenty of room to interpret the verses, giving the whole an uncluttered, approachable look. The concept sections provide opportunities for welcome audience interaction.
