Welcome!

You have accessed the blog site for Choosing and Using Books for Children. Throughout the term we'll use our blog to record the books we read and the ideas we have for using them when we're teachers. By the end of March, our class will have read at least 280 books. Happy reading!

Two important protocol actions for EVERY post:
1. Underline or italicize all book titles (choose one formatting style and stick with it--underline OR italicize for all book titles)
2. Add your name in the "label" box before you post each documentation.

One important recommendation:
Create your documentations in a separate Word document, then cut and paste in a blog post.

Copyright Date: 1992


Genre: Nursery Rhymes


Brief Annotation:


A collection mother goose poems based on the 1916 classic.


Your Rating (1-5) and why:


5 – I grew up with this particular edition and I always feel nostalgic when I see this copy. The illustrations and the purple fabric cover are a great addition to the nursery rhymes I grew up

with.


Readers who will like this book:


A younger crowd of preschoolers or kindergartners would enjoy this delightful read. Great for

read alouds and bedtime.


After/During Reading:


It would be great to research Mother Goose further – If she actually existed, where she came from, where all of these stories originated from, etc.


Question to ask about this book before a read aloud:


Do you have a favorite nursery rhyme? Where do you think all of these interesting names came from?
