Gems from Little Mother Goose Bringing joy to the ear and delight to the soul, the rhymes of Mother Goose have been amusing children of all ages for countless generations. Heard first in infancy they remain forever in memory. The book is a gem itself.
From nonsense to lessons learned, these forty five rhymes include the very well known (Itsy Bitsy Spider) and the somewhat familiar, (Hickety, Pickety, my black hen).
Mother Goose is a collection of traditional children's rhymes that were in common use in 17th century England. There is no fixed canon and most common Mother Goose collections are a sampler of the larger population of several hundred traditional rhymes. Not all children's nursery rhymes are Mother Goose rhymes; new ones are being written all the time. However, all Mother Goose materials are nursery rhymes.
