Review

This soft cover board book of nursery rhymes is perfect for one-on-one reading. Opie and Wells have selected rhymes from their fantastic full volume My Very First Mother Goose, making it accessible to little fingers. Many familiar rhymes are included with a nice mixture of less popular ditties. The colors used and positive interaction of animals provides an overwhelming feeling of love and comfort.

Like the larger collection illustrated by Wells, this is a handsome book for any child. I would however still recommend that librarians purchase My Very First Mother Goose for their shelves and recommend that edition as a baby shower gift. The board book is good for the teething baby and to carry in the diaper bag for those moments when only a book will do.

Overall Book Score: good
