Mother Goose Rhymes

This book caught my interest because I wanted to see how many Mother Goose Rhymes I actually remembered from when I was a kid, and I was surprised at how many I remembered, including "Jack and Jill", "Humpty Dumpty", "Three Blind Mice", and much more. Since I enjoyed this book at the age I’m at now, I think this book could be for all ages, baby to adult. Gustafson has a wonderful sense of color, layout, characters and great oil paintings to look at while reading the proems. I would like to have this poetry book in my classroom no matter what grade I teach since I think all ages would like it. In addition, it would be a great one to incorporate in my poetry curriculum as examples of famous poems we can all remember.
