Review by Booklist Review

This appealing collection presents 20 nursery rhymes featuring numbers. With a full-page or double-page spread devoted to each rhyme and a large format that gives plenty of space for illustrations, individual verses are showcased the way they should be for the very young. The rhymes are familiar and well chosen. Children and adults who share this book will find plenty to enjoy, though perhaps it would have been sporting to give the answer to the St. Ives riddle, as many Mother Goose collections do. Croatian illustrator Huseinovic contributes a series of well-composed, lively paintings, using a fresh, springlike palette. A pleasing addition to nursery rhyme shelves. --Carolyn Phelan Copyright 2007 Booklist

Review by School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 2-These titles group 20 familiar rhymes together by theme. Counting includes "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe," "Sing a Song of Sixpence," "Gregory Griggs," and "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep." Forecasting highlights "Itsy Bitsy Spider," "One Misty, Moisty Morning," "It's Raining, It's Pouring," and "The Robin." Faces features the likes of "Little Miss Muffet," "Jack and Jill," "Humpty Dumpty," and "Old King Cole." All three books cite The Random House Book of Mother Goose (1986) as their source of editorial and formatting decisions. The books sport colorful, textured artwork; Counting was done in acrylics and Faces and Forecasting were created digitally. A warm color palette gives a jaunty tone to the illustrations. However, a few of Luiz's faces are far from amiable and may even border on grotesque. With the abundance of nursery rhyme books available each year, these titles are strictly supplemental purchases.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA (c) Copyright 2010.
