The McElderry Book of Mother Goose: Revered and Rare Rhymes

96 pp. | McElderry | August, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-689-85605-1 $21.99
(1) K-3 Drawn mostly from the canonical Opies, Mathers's fifty-seven entries include many lesser-known or longer rhymes, all nicely leavened with such familiar nonsense as "Hey Diddle Diddle." Mathers's expressive figures, in many moods, are effectively counterpointed by touches of dramatic, or pensive, landscape. Pair this with the Opie/Sendak I Saw Esau for a feast of traditional rhymes. A delightfully idiosyncratic selection.
