Favorite Nursery Rhymes From Mother Goose
Picture book in good condition. Ages 1-4.
From nonsense to lessons learned, these 45 rhymes include the very well known and the somewhat familiar. 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 pelican sea captain, and Peter Piper as a pug on two legs. Welcome to a world where “There Was a Crooked Man” is not about a hunchbacked senior but rather a madcap, double-jointed dandy who might be “crooked” in more ways than one. Jack Be Nimble is a leaping cricket and Yankee Doodle a fun-loving chipmunk on a full-size horse.
