This book is considered the most concise and best collection of nursery rhymes with over 300 entries with brilliant illustrattions by Arnold Lobel. Lobel has little known rhymes like "Hector Protector" and "This Is the Key to the Kingdom" alongside more common ones like "London Bridge" and "Jack and Jill." You may think you know "London Bridge" and "Jack and Jill," but Lobel includes the entire rhyme and you'll be surprised to learn you've been missing entire pieces of the stories.
There is so much to see and learn in this lovely compendium of rhymes that young readers will beg, "Just one more! Read one more!" Don't read this as a goodnight book unless you want to be up all night!
Complete with an index of first lines and their corresponding page numbers, readers can easily find a rhyme they're searching for.
Highly, highly recommended for all collections of poetry and rhyme and this treasure, The Arthur Lobel Book of Mother Goose, should be on every child's bookshelf! All ages but start this book early with toddlers. Early readers will love the rhymes and learn a whole new vocabulary.
