The Mother Goose Book

This year I'm buying two copies of The Mother Goose Book now in large format paperback and encouraging prolific giving. One is for two friends with a new baby --- and a reawakened interest in nursery rhymes. This collection is great for checking the half-remembered and extending the repertoire, and the illustrations with their muted colours, the layout and the design make this book a pleasure in itself. The other copy is going to a rising five who is enough at home with books to enjoy searching the crowded pages, 'reading' the pictures and sharing the experience with his parents.
