From Humpty Dumpty and Georgie Porgie to Little Miss Muffet and the old woman who lived in a shoe, children will love reading and laughing along with all of their favorite characters. The accessible trim and beautiful illustrations by Tomie dePaola make this book the perfect addition to any child’s library.
This is a perfect introduction to Mother Goose's nursery rhymes and to the beloved Tomie dePaola! An illustration in soft tones accompany each nursery rhyme and adds a sweet feel to the book. I like that the rhyme and picture all fit concisely on one page.
