Mother Goose Books
Every child deserves the pleasure of hearing the wonderful, sometimes odd, nursery rhymes penned by someone called Mother Goose.
When I was a child, I had a fairly early edition of “The Real Mother Goose,” but not as early as the very first one that's free for your reading enjoyment on Project Gutenberg.

This is one of the more beautifully illustrated editions of “Mother Goose,” but there are quite a few others. Explore all the choices on Amazon.
