PreS-Gr 2 DePaola has collected and illustrated over 200 traditional classic Mother Goose rhymes as originally collected by Peter and Iona Opie. His illustrations convey a mood of humor, surprise and nonsense. Happy children and animals smile from well-designed pages, incorporating good use of white space and borders. Especially appealing is the interracial mix of characters. The crooked man, crooked house, barn and farm animal scenes are dePaola at his best. A few others are not as clever and, while pretty, tell little. Overall though, this handsome edition is one which most libraries will want to place among their many other versions of Mother Goose . It ends with Christmas, night verses and prayers, a nice touch. Susan McCord, Boise Public Library, Idaho
