Opie, Iona. (1999). Here Comes Mother Goose. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press.
Brief Annotation: This is a collection of fifty-six Mother Goose rhymes. It is illustrated by Rosemary Wells, with her trademark dressed-up animal characters (with a few people thrown in). The rhymes are short, memorable, and fun to read and hear, and the illustrations provide a wonderful addition to the rhymes. Some of the rhymes are familiar, others are a bit more obscure, but young children who read this book will soon learn them all.
Genre: Mother Goose
Grade Level: Pre-K to 2nd grade
Readers who will like this: Young readers who like clever rhymes, readers who like animals, beginning readers who like to anticipate rhymes at the end of lines
Response/Rating (1-4): 4
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Do you know any poems by heart? I think you'll find you do when you listen to this book!
