I bought this book for my infant grandson for Christmas. The illustrations are fabulous! The nursery rhymes are all real common--not some off-the-wall rhymes that one has never heard of, but just the kind that you want your kids to learn as they grow up. I also bought matching quilt fabric and a cloth book of the same title to make him a nice little Mary Engelbreit Mother Goose set. The fabric is also available on eBay. The book retails for $19.99 but most are selling cheaper than that (including shipping. Great buy!
Great pictures and great verses. Fun to have in your library

I love ME products and this is no exception. I don't remember if the product description mentioned that the dust jacket wasn't included, so I can't complain, but it would have been nice if the jacket had been included.
