From Publishers Weekly
The Arnold Lobel Book of Mother Goose (1986), originally published as The Random House Book of Mother Goose, appears here in a complete and unabridged edition with more than 300 nursery rhymes, all illustrated in Lobel's distinctive style, whether he is winking at the audience (as in "Three blind mice," when he reveals that the trio can see) or acknowledging the sky's starry splendor in "Hey diddle, diddle."
