 Rating:  - MOTHERS AREN'T THE SAME ANY MOREThere are probably few things that truly stand the test of time and nursery rhymes are among this select group. My mother and grandmother recited the same rhymes to me and I said them to my children. Surely one of the most popular of these amusing ditties is Old Mother Hubbard. However, neither my grandmother or mother had seen Jane Cabrera's version - they would have loved it!

My kids love this book and I really enjoy looking at the book. Rating: - Great fun for 2.5 yo, would make good giftBig hit at bedtime for my 2.5 yo DS. Laughed at the dog riding the goat. Silly text (...) and bright illustrations w/ good contrast. Got this book from the library, may buy it, will add it to our list of potential gift books for DS's little friends' b'days. (...) It's sweet and exuberant at the same time. |
