They will understand Shakespeare the better for having known and loved Mother Goose.

We do not hesitate to place this venerable classic on the shelf beside our Shakespeare, and to send our children there for delight and inspiration. The Foreword, by Eulalie Osgood Grover (1915) provides background that I appreciate. (As I remember, I thought they were silly, although some of them were intriguing because they were so odd.) If I'd had this book as a child, with its wonderful art, I probably would have liked the nursery rhymes better than I did. She writes, - We do not hesitate to place this venerable classic on the shelf beside our Shakespeare, and to send our childre This may well be my favorite version of the nursery rhymes.

This may well be my favorite version of the nursery rhymes. And I love meeting child and being able to create an instant bond with her (or him) by reciting nursery rhymes at each other! This has helped me create an instant rapport with children who might otherwise be shy or scared around a new adult. Even now (as adults!) my friends and family will quote nursery rhymes to each other in daily life. And it's not religious, nor political - anyone and everyone can learn and enjoy these poems. My copy of this is duct-taped together and many pages are scotch-taped because it is so old and so well-loved.ДЄbsolutely one of the best books ever 'written' - really it's more of an oral tradition passed down from generation to generation, but I think it's something that binds English-speakers together in a wonderful way. The old-fashioned illustrations in this volume are wonderful, but of course I'm biased. There's also the more obscure ones, but I love them just as much. And the great thing is, so can everyone else - at least the familiar ones like Hickory Dickory Dock, Little Bo Peep, Jack Sprat, Little Miss Muffet, Old King Cole, etc. Say any opening line to me from any nursery rhyme in this collection, and I can complete it for you. We have the old woman who lived in a shoe, the old woman who lived under the hill, the old woman tossed in a blanket (OMG one of my all-time favorites), Old Mother Hubbard, the old woman who sold puddings and pies, the deaf old woman, and the old woman who lived on victuals and drink. Old women are a main feature in nursery rhymes, and I would almost say I like the poems about old women best.

I think nursery rhymes help children learn and grow, and I think nursery rhymes (the repetition, rhyming, easy memorization, and nonsense) helps their brains develop - not to mention their imagination! Some are not as well known as others, but all are fun and catchy. I grew up listening to these over and over and over and over again. And this collection (published in 1915) is the 'real' version, in my mind. (Can't make any comments about other countries re: Mother Goose.) I love it. It's a very universal thing in the U.S.A. 'Little Jack Horner sat in a corner,' and they will immediately respond, 'Eating a Christmas pie.' It's automatic. You can walk up to almost any American and say, Nursery rhymes are so incredibly powerful.
