I think I've got the edition wrong here, but with the edition that has the lovely, lovely art combined with really decent story telling: Win. ( )

Rackham collects some of the most well-known nursery rhymes for this collection, which when supplemented by this drawings becomes a beautiful treasury. ( )

Use with a variety of elementary grade levels. Young children will love hearing the nursery rhymes. Older children may use for plays. This book contains a plethora of traditional nursery rhymes with illustrations by Arthur Rackham. Addresses fantasy, folktales, rhyming, real life hardships. In the classroom, read aloud to young children and then have them draw a picture to build listening comprehension skills. For older students, have groups put on a play/skit of the rhyme or write their own nursery rhyme. ( )

One of my favorite Mother Goose books, since Rackham is one of my favorite illustrators. ( )

Wonderful and quirky illustrations by Arthur Rackham make this an excellent addition to anyone's collection. ( )
