Purchase options and add-ons

From nonsense to lessons learned, these 45 rhymes include the very well known (Itsy Bitsy Spider) and the somewhat familiar (Hickety, Pickety, My Black Hen). The truly fantastic pictures speak more than a thousand words as artist Scott Gustafson riffs in paint on themes present and imagined in each verse.

Nursery rhymes are classic, and so are some of the artist's interpretations. But other paintings are surprises, like an anthropomorphic baking bear, a pelican sea captain, and Peter Piper as a pug on two legs. Welcome to a world where "There Was a Crooked Man" is not about a hunchbacked senior but rather a madcap, double-jointed dandy who might be "crooked" in more ways than one. Jack (Be Nimble) is a leaping cricket and Yankee Doodle a fun-loving chipmunk on a fullsize horse.

Scott Gustafson's unique style, influenced by legendary book illustrators Arthur Rackham and N. C. Wyeth, makes this a volume to be treasured by children and illustrated-book lovers of all ages.

This is a must for any Mother Goose enthusiast. The binding is poorly done, but it was the last in stock, so I’m keeping it. I will use this when I dress as Mother Goose at the local elementary school. I would not gift this particular book because of the poor workmanship, but a better made copy would be a wonderful gift for a baby, toddler, or kindergartner. As a retired early childhood teacher, I’m picky. This book truly is stunning.

Nice illustrations. Very well bound. Missing some rhymes I heard as a child. Little Tom Tinker, ride a Cock horse to Banbury cross, Little boy blue. It will keep your Little ones entertained, IF you read it to them.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the 10 kids' books we'll keep when they're grown up
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024

The other reviewers aren't wrong: this book is nearly faultless; I read it every night for at least a year with my older kid, and my younger is trending that direction, and I haven't gotten sick of it even a bit. We could stare at most of the illustrations all night; even the relatively minor ones have a depth of detail that amaze my kids (and me). I edit a little bit of the violence (the old woman who lives in a shoe needs social support services desperately) and mess with the genders in the usual way.
