Mother Goose Picture Book — Berta Hader; Elmer Hader

This hardcover treasury of Mother Goose rhymes stands as the finest achievement of the beloved husband-and-wife team, winners of the 1949 Caldecott Medal for The Big Snow. Each of the more than 170 lovingly detailed color and pen-and-ink illustrations has been painstakingly restored from the Haders' original art stored at the University of Oregon. Game songs, tales of boys and girls, and lullabies include "Hickory, Dickory, Dock," "Hey, Diddle, Diddle," "Hot-Cross Buns," "London Bridge," "Georgie Porgie," and dozens more.
