Synopsis

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, watercolors, 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 colorable. Some are easy enough for the youngest to color; others are challenging enough for parents and grandparents. The rhymes — familiar and unfamiliar — are, of course, always a delight.

About this title

About the Author:

Kate Greenaway (1846 1901) British author and artist Kate Greenaway grew up in North London and spent summers in the Nottinghamshire countryside. These happy times from her childhood were the foundation of many of her stories. Her illustrations portraying the idyllic landscape as a playground for children dressed in sumptuous Regency clothing offered a romanticized escape from the realities of the ever-encroaching industrialized world. In her costume designs, she combined the influences of her mother, an accomplished seamstress, with those of her father, a master engraver. She studied art in London where she developed a close relationship with printer Edmund Evans (1826 1905). Together they produced more than 150 books. Greenaway s popular illustrations inspired lines of ceramics, jewelry, fabrics, wallpaper, and children s clothing.
