"These are not the nursery rhymes I remember. Some don't even rhyme. Illustrations were fun and more of the expected classical ideas except for the pineapple king. Why would a king be a pineapple? These were fun but I wished they rhymed. I may have to read the classics because of this book."
"What is it about Rosemary Wells' illustrations that just erk me? It's not only the illustrations that I didn't like, but the poems themselves didn't do anything for me either. For example, the teapot song: "here is my handle, here is my spout." In the book, "here is" has become contracted to "here's." I'm not sure why she chose to do this. It breaks up the rhyming pattern and I seriously doubt that's how it was in the original. I know this is just a minor little complaint, but it's reflective of the overall book. Nope, didn't like it."
"A collection of Mother Goose rhymes featuring large, colorful illustrations that are simply fun. Who knew Old Mother Hubbard rode a moped? Parents will appreciate index to first lines in the back of the book.
CIP Summary: Presents more than sixty traditional nursery rhymes, including "Old Mother Hubbard," "I'm a Little Pot," and "one Two Buckle My Shoe," accompanied by illustrations of various animals.
Publishers Weekly: Even if this volume isn't quite as illuminating as Opie and Wells's My Very First Mother Goose, it abounds with charm and wit; there is no one like Opie for collecting traditional verse, and no one like Wells for radiant, childlike visual interpretation.
Kirkus reviews: This oversized companion to the much ballyhooed My Very First Mother Goose (1996) will take toddlers and ex-toddlers deeper into the playscapes of the language, to meet Old King Cole, Old Mother Hubbard, and Dusty Bill From Vinegar Hill; to caper about the mulberry bush, polka with My Aunt Jane, and dance by the light of the moon...the book is plainly the work of a match made in heaven..."
