Mother Goose Rhymes Copyright 1943 Saalfield Pub. Co. Akron, Ohio This book was tucked in a bucket in the darkest corner of a junk shop. It was the only thing I bought from the shop and is now a prized possession among many. The illustrations and almost lost limericks are now forever captured here to share. There are many sweet rhymes that have been lost through the years. Surprisingly it is bound in spiral. I haven't heard this version of Polly since nursery school. Poor Solomon Grundy? I will have you know I wash on Saturday...such a sloth! Four and twenty...and we wonder why our kids can't count know? Because everything does it for them! This is such a lovely book full of so much I have to do it in two parts...(next Friday will be the other half of the book.) Join me over at Corey's for another week of Lil' Vintage Story Books. Those little bird clips from my previous post were purchased from Amazon. You can find the link here...
