Importantly, there is a good range of rhymes in here. I enjoyed finding that Old Mother Hubbard has an additional seven verses describing the merry dance the (not so) poor dog leads her, pretending to be dead, doing a jig, and riding a goat amongst other antics. I also enjoyed ''Piggy on the railway, shouldn't be there'' which just goes to show that there is still many a relevant lesson in an old children’s rhyme.
We're going to shelve this book next to [[The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature by Daniel Hahn]]. For a more subversive take on the nursery rhyme tradition try [[Mixed Up Nursery Rhymes by Hilary Robinson and Liz Pichon]].
