Jump into the magical and musical world of Mother Goose with your youngest learners as she takes us through a silly, laugh-out-loud version of her “typical day.” Exploring some of her most beloved nursery rhymes, such as Humpty Dumpty, Old King Cole, the Eensy Weensy Spider, and more, the magical Mother Goose invites little ones to join in with each rhyme’s story. Together we learn that the very best way to do what needs to be done is to do it together.

Reviews

“

With its slightly kooky, charming, and modern take on centuries-old nursery rhymes, you will marvel at your child’s sense of wonder and enjoyment. Perhaps you will even come away with a newfound appreciation of the hard-working Mother Goose.

Despite the character’s alleged age, and hence, the age of the nursery rhymes themselves, Kathryn Chase Bryer and Janet Stanford’s Mother Goose is certainly not old-fashioned.
