The Neighborhood Mother Goose

Every day, children the world over sing, shout, and celebrate Mother Goose rhymes. And now there’s a new reason to cheer: Nina Crews has added her own remarkable, jazzy style of illustration to a collection of forty-one favorite verses. Whether it’s Jack jumping over a candlestick (atop a cupcake), Georgie Porgie kissing the girls (at the playground), or a fine lady riding a white horse (on the carousel), this exuberant treasury is sure to be read and enjoyed over and over again.

Praise for The Neighborhood Mother Goose:

"Playful photo-collages put these 41 familiar and not-so-familiar rhymes in a brand-new setting: an urban neighborhood. Working her magical compositions, Crews places children and animals in an almost-real world, varying scale, tweaking meaning, and having a good laugh while she does it. Hip enough to have a wide appeal. " – Kirkus
