Mother Goose rhymes have become more sanitized over time. This collection of "classic" nursery rhymes goes back closer to the source. It is not uncommon for protagonists to suffer when they don't act properly. For some there have been improvements over time, while for others, this old version is best.
The book has some short poems with large illustrations as well as pages devoted entirely to poems. My kids grumble when we pull out the mother goose poems, so it takes a while to make it through. However, it finally grew on them towards the end.
