"My Very first Mother Goose" Iona Opie. The first US edition copywrite 1996.
I started buying books for my daughter before she was born, and this was one of the first. The book contains Nursery Rhymes and Childrens Poetry. Children learn rymes ans short stories before they learn to read. The alike sounding words help a child to remember. "1, 2 buckle my shoe. 3, 4 shut the door."
Good book choice Leslie. I loved reciting nursery rhymes when I was a child. And they are still popular today. A good legacy/book/trend etc. never dies!
