Count Along with Mother Goose Making Friends with Mother Goose Seeing Colors with Mother Goose

PreS-Gr 2—Each title begins with a contents page and a brief explanation of the origins of Mother Goose and nursery rhymes. Count Along includes "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe," "Sing a Song of Sixpence," and "One for the Money." Nursery rhymes about people are highlighted in Making Friends, which includes "Jack Be Nimble," "Little Miss Muffet," and "Mary, Mary Quite Contrary." Colors features 13 rhymes such as "Roses Are Red," "Little Betty Blue," and "Three Gray Geese." Each spread features one nursery rhyme set against a simple watercolor illustration. The softness of the pictures adds a warm, classic feel to the books. However, collections would be better supplemented by any of the many beautifully illustrated, cost-effective anthologies available rather than single books with just a few rhymes.—Cathie Bashaw Morton, Millbrook Central School District, NY
