My First Real Mother Goose ANNOTATION A collection of familiar Mother Goose rhymes, including "Jack Be Nimble," "To Market," and "Ring Around the Rosies."
FROM THE CRITICS Children's Literature Muted tones and an old fashioned look are the hallmark of this sturdy board book of familiar nursery rhymes. The pictures are literal¾a white capped young girl in a dress and boy in a blue jumper encounter the black sheep while baby looks pretty comfortable in the cradle hanging from a tree limb, and a little towheaded child is enjoying the familiar "This little pig went to market...." In a tilt toward a contemporary audience, Jack and Jill are dark skinned, as are a few of the other characters in the pictures. Parents and other caregivers will delight their charges with these rhymes, and both will have fun examining the pictures. 2000, Cartwheel/Scholastic, $6.99. Ages 6 mo. to 3. Reviewer:Marilyn Courtot
