The Arnold Lobel Book of Mother Goose

When I was a child, my parents got me and my younger siblings this collection of classic nursery rhymes, and it has become an instant classic with my young niece and nephews. What makes this collection stands out from other collection are the more obscure rhymes that you normally don’t see in other Mother Goose books. Rhymes such as “If all the world was apple pie” and “Fiddle-dee, fiddle-dee” rarely make an appearance in nursery rhyme books. The beautiful illustrations set each poem and limerick in colonial times. A great book for all ages.
