Little Jack Horner ... Daffy-down-dilly ... Jack Sprat ... Cross Patch ... Jack and Jill ... Bo-peep ... Little Tom Tucker ... Mary, Mary, quite contrary ... Little Boy Blue ... Little Miss Muffet ... Tom, Tom, the piper's son ... and 36 other Mother Goose personalities anxiously await your crayons, watercolours, inks, and other drawing materials. Kate Greenaway has made all of the characters seem like childhood friends. Nancy Perkins has made the illustrations even more colourable. Some are easy enough for the youngest to colour; others are challenging enough for parents and grandparents. The rhymes - familiar and unfamiliar - are, of course, always a delight.
