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.
