Format:Hardcover
This book is fantastic. My 3 year old daughter spent 30 mins looking at it by her self, not letting any one else look. Then after having looked at all the lovely pictures, finally let me read it to her. Then wanted it read to her a second time straight after. It is a book that is great for young and older children.
It is a great twist on traditional nursery rhymes and the flaps and pictures help to keep children interested.
I found this book a pleasure to read with its original theme.

I bought this book for my 6 year old nephew because they had been reading it at school. However, after a few weeks he decided it was too young for him (that's six year old boys for you!) so I acquired it back for my 21 month old daughter.
The book has a selection of nursery rhymes in and modern day solutions given by Mother Goose, so for example, humpty dumpty sat on a wall, humpty dumpty had a great fall. Well why doesn't humpty sit in an egg cup then he'd be a lot more secure.
It's an interesting concept, with lift the flap bits to interest your little ones. Still trying to decide which age it best suits though, probably around 3 to 4 year olds.

Nursery rhyme books, because they repeat traditional rhymes we have all heard before, can be rather dull however beautifully they are presented. Dear Mother Goose, in contrast, is a masterstroke which includes a good selection of rhymes in a new, cheerful and interesting way. And with sturdy thick pages, it's good from about a year old.
The story begins with a poem about the nursery rhyme characters wanting to change what they always do - wouldn't you if you were Humpty Dumpty falling off a wall with every recitation? Old Mother Goose is an agony aunt (with a laptop) to whom a range of nursery rhyme characters write advice. We see both their letters and Mother Gooses's replies suggesting a change in behaviour to each character. You lift the flap to replace the picture of the traditional rhyme's end with the proposed solution, and a happier ending. For example, Mother Goose suggests that Miss Muffet should stop sitting on a tuffet (which spiders love), and try a bubble bath instead. My son (4) loves the picture of Jack and Jill on the bus instead of rolling down the hill, is very taken with Incey Wincey Spider on a surf-board, and enjoys spotting the nursery rhyme characters going home on the London underground (don't use the bridge - it's falling down). Brilliant!
