Tomie dePaola’s Mother Goose is a delightfully illustrated series of classical rhymes and short stories intended for children ages 4-8. The genre is that of a traditional collection of Mother Goose rhymes—200 total—accompanied by colorful and often humorous pictures that correspond to the classic tales.
DePaola’s illustrations are, in my opinion, of a higher quality than Offen’s, not just because all the pictures are in color but because the style is simply more visually appealing, especially for most children.
