IPPY Award Winner From nonsense to lessons learned, these 45 rhymes include the very well known (Itsy Bitsy Spider) and the somewhat familiar (Hickety, Pickety, My Black Hen). 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 fullsize horse. Scott Gustafson's unique style, influenced by legendary book illustrators Arthur Rackham and N. C. Wyeth, makes this a volume to be treasured by children and illustrated-book lovers of all ages. Review: BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED - Quality book! The best thing about it are the illustrations... They are so beautiful. It's exactly what I was looking for and will be magical to share with grandchildren. Would be nice for any child under seven. Review: Even My Baby Pays Attention!!!!!!! - I bought this book to help my students read. Years later I read this to my baby. The short rhymes and large vivid pictures hold her attention. My husband grew to love this book so much that we bought Scott Gustafson’s other books for her to enjoy when she’s older.

Beautiful Illistration
The most beautiful illustrations. The book itself is a bit large; would prefer the size to be smaller - easier to hold share with child on your lap.

Very Pretty
Beautiful illustrated hardcover book. I used it for a "mother goose" themed baby shower and was very pleased with the richness it added.

Great nursery rhyme book
I wanted a good nursery rhyme book for my son and I'm really happy I went with this one. There are a ton of rhymes and each is beautifully illustrated. Even at just 9 months he gets excited when we sit down to read out of this book. My only complaint is that some of the rhymes that were included are pretty obscure, and not even fun. There are only a few like that though and we just skip over them. I don't care if they are "classic." Boring is boring! Overall I highly recommend though.

Perfect baby shower card
One of most beautiful books i have ever seen. Bought as part of a baby shower gift for my granddaughter. Book was approximately 12 1/4" tall x 11" wide. Only negative would be the size - wish it was closer to 10X8 - little easier to hold while rocking a baby and reading or showing child the pictures. But I could not resist buying this book. Mother to be requested a book with a note from giver to baby inside book, rather than a card at bridal shower, which is a wonderful idea.

Bellissimo 🐞🐝🐛
Bellissima edizione di Nursery Rhymes. I dipinti di Gustafson sono dei capolavori, da guardare e riguardare. Le filastrocche sono scritte in grande di facile lettura. Assolutamente da avere per chi ama le belle illustrazioni come me 🐌🐛🦄
