TOMIE DEPAOLA'S MOTHER GOOSE, illustrated by Tomie dePaola, was published in 1985.

Publisher's Note: "Over the centuries, many different versions of Mother Goose have appeared, and it now seems fitting that Tomie dePaola should complete his original and comprehensive edition of over two hundred Mother Goose rhymes as he celebrates his twentieth year in publishing. Working primarily from the classic versions of Britain's Iona and Peter Opie, Mr. dePaola lovingly brings to life not only the familiar faces of Little Bo Peep, Humpty Dumpty, Simple Simon and Old King Cole, but a host of other favorites for children to laugh with and treasure. The result is an extraordinarily complete collection filled with the fresh life of stories told as if for the very first time. And in Tomie dePaola's brilliant full-color paintings, children will rediscover a classic to be loved and passed on from generation to generation."
