Inspired by the wish to have her grandaughter, Mikayla, and other children know these beloved rhymes, Mary Engelbreit choose one hundred of her Mother Goose favorites to illustrate. The celebrated artist brings her fresh vision to nostalgic scenes, making time-honored characters seem new. Her enchanting pictures of Little Bo-Peep, Humpty Dumpty, Old King Cole, Jack and Jill, and many others, are among the delights to be found in these pages. With superb artistry backed by a sensibility that is perfectly attuned to the spirit of the verses, Mary Engelbreit creates a masterful collection of the adorable, the zany, and the beautiful that will be cherished for generations.
Special extras include a note from Mary Engelbreit about the process of creating the book, an index of first lines, and an introduction by children’s literature specialist Leonard S. Marcus.
