B aldacci Continues to Amaze

Mary Engelbreit's Mother Goose: One Hundred Best-Loved Verses
HarperCollins, 2005
Classic Mother Goose
I love this book, and so does my 3-year-old. Some of the pictures lend a more modern twist to the stories. For example, "4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie" are pictured as birds half in half out of a fruit pie, with the suggestion that they are eating the berries ...
