This is a fantastic collection of nursery rhymes. I've been searching the library for something decent, and this one was hiding in the bookshelf at home. The words are slightly different than what I'm used to in some cases, but it's close enough to the versions found in the Oxford collections.
Each page has several poems, and the pictures for the poems are blended together. There's a lot of play with perspective in the paintings and the characters and settings are a-typical.
All of the standard rhymes are in there. All of my kids' favourites. I don't think I'll be able to find anything much better than this.
