Some parents and educators object to the old-fashioned and sometimes stereotypical nature of traditional Mother Goose rhymes. Move over, Mother Goose--welcome to the '90s! In this more contemporary collection, Bruce Lansky offers new versions of 41 rhymes, a "kinder, gentler" approach to Mother Goose, with funny twists that will amuse both young listeners and their parents. In this collection, Little Miss Muffet is definitely not afraid of spiders, Old Mother Hubbard's dog calls out for pizza, and the old woman who lived in a shoe retires to a sandal on the beach. Roly-poly contemporary children of all races illustrate these poems in a humorous, good-natured fashion. As a follow-up to traditional Mother Goose poems or on their own, these nursery rhymes for our modern times are a satisfying alternative. (Ages 2 to 5)

The New Adventures of Mother Goose December 7, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My kids enjoyed this book so much they have most of the poems memorized. This is a much more enjoyable version to read than the original Mother Goose. I received the book as a shower gift and have since bought three copies as gifts for other children.
Stands on its own, even when not compared to Mother Goose July 23, 2001

My son loves this book and seemed unimpressed with the original Mother Goose when they were read to him weeks after getting this book. This book is much more entertaining for any age at any time. Warm, positive, and funny.
Wonderful update of familiar nursery rhymes January 30, 1999

After our son was born we started really reading the old nursery rhymes we'd grown up with and were disappointed by the often harsh and callous messages. The New Adventures of Mother Goose is such a welcome relief! It full of the characters we recognize but they're so much happier than we remember them. For instance, the three KIND mice take out their cheese and cut her (the farmer's wife) a slice. How much better than getting their tails chopped off! Most importantly, it's our son's favorite book and he's starting to complete the rhymes himself. We feel good about having him repeat happy rhymes.
