Where did Mother Goose or Frau Gosen come from? Learn the history that you probably never knew and then start turning the pages and enjoying the whimsically illustrated collection of nursery rhymes. "Mary, Mary, quite contrary" is a bunny who may be familiar to you and she has quite a mischievous look in her eye. What has she been up to? Do you ever recite "Hot Cross Buns" to your little one? Well, take a look at the cute little guinea pig sitting in front of the warm, intimate fire with a couple of iced buns on his lap. LIfe is wonderful. Our old friend, Old King Cole has become a pineapple and his fiddlers are fruits. For those who worry over the "dark" side of the nursery rhyme world, here is the gentlest most heartwarming presentation of the most familiar and a few you might not remember. Great for storytime.
