My First Mother Goose: A CarryAlong Treasury (Carry Along Books) Board book – October 6, 2009

As others have stated it is a very colorful book and has your traditional well-known nursery rhymes. I know the handle is for carrying, but I find it gets in the way. I've even pinched my fingers between the handle and the book. I would have preferred the book without the handle, but I'm still very satisfied with this book and its purchase price.

My son loves this book. We bought it for his first birthday, and he frequently carries it over to my husband and I so we can read it to him. The illustrations are colorful and very cute, and the carrying handle is extremely sturdy.

This is a very cute collection of Mother Goose rhymes. The book seems very sturdy, though I worry about the handle. I kindof wish it didn't have it. The illustrations are beautiful and bright. I hope that my son will love it.

We bought this for our baby 16 years ago, and several children later, the book finally gave out. We happily replaced this classic for another little one so that she can hear the Mother Goose rhymes that her siblings grew up with. This is a classic with fun appealing animal illustrations.

Gorgeous, charming illustrations. A nice selection of Mother Goose rhymes; ten total. Sturdy, board book with a handle on the spine and a clip that holds the book closed. This book is a favorite of my one year old and my three year old.

Wonderful board book. My grandson, 18 months old, loves it. Bright beautiful pictures and sturdy book. No pages to tear.

I thought this was going to be a little more 'in depth' like my first Mother Goose book, say, oh, 30 years ago. Well books have changed and they've certainly dumbed things down even further in this one. This is NOT the original Mother Goose by any means. This book is alright, it's just a little shorter and simpler than the books of old.

Started reading this to infant a few weeks old. Her favorite became "One Two Buckle My Shoe" because I'd tap her little hands or feet on the book in time with the rhythm of the verse. Before long, she'd see the book and start tapping on it, and fuss a bit until Grandma got to the right page. As she got a little older, I used the drawings to point out the doggie, the horse, the spoon, and later she'd respond when I asked "Which one is the doggie?" Later still, I would make slight changes to a word in a poem --- "Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?" became "...yukky dish" or "...scary dish..." or "...huge dish" or "salty dish".
