Hear Comes Mother Goose, Iona Opie and Rosemary Wells
|
Iona Opie and her late husband Peter were collectors and authorities on children’s literature. They studied and wrote about children’s literature together for about 40 years. They authored the Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes and Iona has an extensive collection of 19th and 20th century
children’s literature. The book itself: The second nursery rhyme book by the duo. First one was My Very First Mother Goose, 1996. Same format, etc. Anthropomorphic animals...bears wearing clothes...ducks in skits. Animals taking on human characteristics. Excellent use of space and placement and color. Excellent craftsmanship. Not great chapters as far as finding rhymes. Index -- first lines -- which is fine for nursery rhymes. Nice selection of rhymes. Highly recommended. |
