Everything Mother Goose
June Rifkin · 2001
70/100
👍 Worth It
A solid single-volume home reference for the full nursery rhyme canon — nearly 300 rhymes plus helpful context for adults make it a genuinely useful keeper on the shelf. The content is timeless and the format is convenient, even if free online versions now compete directly with it. A reliable choice for parents who want a physical anthology to share with young children.
