Mother Goose (Hardcover, illustrated edition)

Critically acclaimed artist Scott Cook brings his spirited, classic style to the Mother Goose menagerie! From Little Miss Muffet to Old Mother Hubbard and a whole range of unforgettable characters in between, this lavish yet affordably priced anthology harks back to the best-loved nursery rhyme collections of the past while possessing a unique flavor. Expressive portraits, richly rendered vignettes, and exuberant, parade-like scenes that creatively group verses together--all invite readers to curl up in a cozy chair and enter the timeless and utterly satisfying world of Cook, whose oil paintings "Booklist" has described as "suffused with a golden glow...soft as a kiss, yet filled with energy." Over 60 familiar and lesser-known rhymes are included in this visual feast.
