"Mother, Sister, and Brother Goose host this recording which includes 41 traditional nursery rhymes put to music and two original songs, one about safety and the other about manners. The musical style is primarily pop, with 'There Was an Old Woman' in rap and 'Rub-a-Dub-Dub' in vaguely calypso or reggae. All songs are sung by an adult and children's chorus and accompanied by professional musicians. The booklet contains all the lyrics and colorful illustrations. Listeners are cued when to turn the pages. Among the traditional rhymes are 'Baa, Baa, Black Sheep,' 'Diddle, Diddle Dumpling,' 'Going to St. Ives,' 'Jack and Jill,' 'Little Bo-Peep,' 'London Bridge,' 'Mary Had a Little Lamb,' (with all the verses), etc. This is an excellent introduction to nursery rhymes for young children." – School Library Journal
"Kids ages 2-5 will find this a fine contemporary production which pairs favorite nursery rhymes with pop style and underlying messages on manners, safety and responsibility. Paired with the audio CD of rocking songs is a color-illustrated book to further encourage reading and understanding. A fine learning tool." – Children's Bookwatch
"Tested by kids! At my daughter's summer camp, full of 2 ½ to 4 ½ year olds, the Nursery Rhymes CD played all day today! The kids loved the songs, and with a selection of over 40 songs, you are certain to hear your favorite childhood rhyme! A lyric book comes with the CD! This is a FANTASTIC bonus for us mama's who have forgotten the lyrics to some rhymes that we haven't sung in decades!" – Smartypantsmama.com
