Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes 

By and illustrator: Hilda Offen - 3-5th grade
Rating- 

Hilda Offen. Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes. Octopus Books. 1985, Pages: 157, Reading Level: Pre-K-3rd, Ages: 2-5, Genre: Humor, Poetry 

A collection of old nursery rhymes that roll off the tongue and are lively. The wisdom and humor in these stories make for a good time reading. The illustrations are fun to look at and there is a variation of details in each picture to help you understand the poetry better. I would use this book to read a couple of poems, then have my class write their own types of poems like the ones I read to them.
