This was a great find. The language is just like what I remembered and the images are beautiful. Some are full pages and some are less. The print is so pretty and it has all the rhymes I grew up with. This will be a great book for when my baby is old enough to understand and read it herself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant book
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2024

As a great great grandmother I wanted a children's book for a grandchild to reflect those I read to my children. What could be more nostalgic than The Original Mother Goose? I didn't set my expectations too high because the price was so reasonable but hoped for the best. This book exceeded all I had wanted. Everything about it is perfect, from the exterior to size, illustrations, colors, and the over 140 nursery rhymes! Best baby gift I ever gave to a grandchild.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Old Fashioned Classic Pictures
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2021
Verified Purchase
The pictures are what to expect as in the very early editions of Mother Goose. Nothing weird or scary depicted here. Besides memorizing Bible verses as a first time memorization activity...Mother Goose is also one of the first memorization activities a (too young to read) child show be able to recite. I sometimes help families tutor, and I am finding the majority of families have not read to the children, nor helped them to memorize at an early age Mother Goose or other children's poetic verses with their rhythms. This should be required aloud reading/hearing for ages 2 to 6. Thanks for the reasonable price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lot’s of Rhymes, not a lot of fun
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for. I thought they were old stories (like chicken little, the boy who cried wolf). I probably didn’t read the description properly, but they are definitely just nursery rhymes. The pictures are nice, but the rhymes get old and kind of boring after a page or 2. Biggest complaint is that the front picture of the book is a giant sticker. It is so cheap looking and completely kills the “old fashioned” feel. If you want a giant book with 100’s of nursery rhymes, this is your book. If not, keep looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like when I was a kid
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2012
Verified Purchase
When I was very young I had a Mother Goose book with so many rhymes in it that it was staggering to even consider reading them all. But it also had vibrant, sometimes creepy, pictures that went along with them so I began reading them, slowly at first obviously, I was 5 and learning. Now that I have my own son I wanted him to be able to read the same rhymes with the same pictures. I searched everywhere but most Mother Goose collections have been abridged or even changed to make them more "feel goodie". Well this is the original and it's the one you want if you love Mother Goose. It has all the rhymes and all the same creepy artwork from when I was a kid. The only difference is the cover is purple instead of green. Every child should own a copy of this collection:)

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for! ORIGINAL Mother Goose
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2019
Verified Purchase
I do not want a watered down PC, hippy version of Mother Goose. I was looking for originals. You cannot change the rhymes just to fit your particular wants and needs. They were written this way and usually have stories to explain why. The word pussy means cat and has for centuries (alluding to other reviewers). If the rhyme is one you do not like, then do not read it. Or, perhaps, explain the world and changes to your child. Imagine that.

I bought this as a gift for a newborn....I grew up on Mother Goose as did my girls, and I believe my Mom did too...so the contents are the same and as great as ever... I was just upset with the bad job of glueing on the cover...it was full of wrinkles and didn't look very nice for a gift ...
