Book Guide

One of the most beautiful children's books ever published, Sing Mother Goose is a superb companion volume to Opal Wheeler's Sing in Praise and Sing for Christmas. The author, who has written an outstanding series of music biographies for young readers, has selected fifty of the best-loved Mother Goose rhymes and arranged them so that the very young child, who is not yet ready to play the music, may enjoy the verse and the delightful pictures.

For the slightly older child, and for the parent or teacher to play for his singing, there is Opal Wheeler's lilting music. To try any one of these gay, dancing tunes on the piano is to play them all, for they are as irresistible and infectious as the laughter of children, the mood of the music capturing the spirit of the verse.

To add to the children's delight are Marjorie Torrey's exquisite illustrations, many of them in full color, embodying all the richness and marvelous delicacy for which her work is noted.

Filled with enchantment in music, verse and picture, Sing Mother Goose is one of those prized books which every child singles out—a book to turn to again and again, and to cherish forever.
