Praise for Barbara Reid:“With her inimitable style, Barbara Reid has created a Christmas treat to be savoured and shared over and over.” — (The Night Before Christmas) National Reading Campaign“Readers will marvel at the amazing details . . . a special book indeed.” — (Picture a Tree) Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewPraise for Sing a Song of Mother Goose:“Lucky infants and toddlers can now meet both Reid’s illustrations and traditional literature in a finger friendly format, while having the longer version of the book waiting as they get older.” ****/4, highly recommended — Canadian Materials (board book edition)“[Sing a Song of Mother Goose] reveals the astounding skill Reid exhibits in the manipulation of her medium. Intricate details right down to the stitching in little boy blue’s overalls and the wrinkles on Old Mother Hubbard’s face are amazing.” — Calvinist Contact“A maginficent collection.” — The Canadian Children’s Book Centre, Our Choice“Sing a Song of Mother Goose, a plasticene-art masterpiece, is absolutely a must-buy. It is clever, inventive, and beautiful, and blessed with a fine sense of humor to delight any reader, young or old. Though it belongs with the nursery rhymes, there is an argument for placing this beauty among the art books as well.” — Emergency Librarian“Illustrations packed with subtle, detlightful detail .” — London Free Press

Best Nursery Rhyme Book!

"My favourite nursery rhyme book! It includes the more familiar nursery rhymes and I love Barbara Reid’s illustrations. The detail with modelling clay gives it a 3D look. Kids often don’t know their nursery rhymes anymore and the are important for language development."

Lorrie C. (5/5)

Great classic nursery rhymes

"Great starter book for new parents to learn nursery rhymes"

Sheri L. (5/5)

More for me to remember all the old rhymes

"I didn't realize that I would need a full repertoire of songs and rhymes when I had a baby. Some are old fashioned but it's good to have a reference book. My 6 month old doesn't seem to like the pictures even though I think they're nice."

Tami C. (3/5)
