![]() ![]() Or maybe my mom skipped over them, because she, too, was shocked at the brute force of these tumultuous tales. Perhaps my brain protected me from the more violent rhymes by blocking them out. But some of them I don’t remember, and others that I loved now look completely different in the light of adulthood. Reading the Mother Goose stories to my child revived certain memories of my own childhood: my favorite nursery rhyme book, the way the stitching in the illustrations rose off the pages.

Whether you’re into the cool, hip children’s books like Goodnight iPad or you’re a fan of the classics like Goodnight Moon, one lady will likely be unavoidable in your child’s literary rearing: Mother Goose.
