Product Description
From nonsense to lessons learned, these 45 rhymes include the very well known (Itsy Bitsy Spider) and the somewhat familiar (Hickety, Pickety, My Black Hen). The truly fantastic pictures speak more than a thousand words as artist Scott Gustafson riffs in paint on themes present and imagined in each verse.
Nursery rhymes are classic, and so are some of the artist’s interpretations. But other paintings are surprises, like an anthropomorphic baking bear, a peli… More >>
This book is beautifully illustrated with classic nursery rhymes from your childhood. It brings back memories for me.
Most of the included nursery rhymes are ones you will remember and enjoy sharing with your children. Don’t get all hung up on what a violent world we live in and think that these are bad morals to teach your children, as one other reviewer of nursery rhyme books went into a diatribe about. The sooner your children realize that everyone is not equal and everyone is not a winner, the better off they will be in adulthood. The P.C. movement in the USA is out of control — there really are winners and losers in life — so, motivate your children to be winners through hard work, skill and talent! Don’t teach them to expect a trophy and pat-on-the-back telling them how wonderful they are when the reality is something quite different. It’s time to get back to basics in this country because the coddling of our children over the past 20 years certainly hasn’t produced good results (look around and stop blaming nursery rhymes and video games for YOUR POOR PARENTING).
The morals in this book won’t hurt anyone and they certainly didn’t turn me into a serial killer. So, enjoy this beautiful book with your children — I know I am!

Very beautiful book. I just wish the book included more complete rhymes. Some appeared to be abbreviated a bit. it is still good though.

This is the second time I have given this book to a grandchild. Before selecting it I researched and compared all the available books like this. The illustrations are charming, and the print is large and easy to read, both for adults or for young readers. It is a must-have book for all children, in my opinion. And parents and grandparents, how many times have we all tried to remember the words in one of the lines in a nursery rhyme? This book has them all!
