For example, the rhyme about Little Bo Peep becomes a lesson about the history of sheep farming, while the rhyme about Old Mother Hubbard teaches readers about the history of dog breeding.The book is beautifully illustrated with charming and whimsical drawings that bring the rhymes to life. The language is playful and full of puns, making it a joy to read aloud and share with children.Overall, Historical Mother Goose is a delightful and educational book that will appeal to both children and adults. It is a wonderful addition to any family's library and a great way to introduce young readers to history in a fun and accessible way.This very uncommon and rare book includes catchy airs with lyrics about the Boston Tea Party, the Declaration of Independence, Christopher Columbus, the Civil War, and other people and events related to American history. �������It is the experience of every child, that nonsense rhymes and Mother Goose jingles remain in the memory, whereas historical dates fly away as soon as the book is closed. The idea suggested itself, of wedding Father History with Mother Goose, and thus keeping Nonsense and Facts in one family.�������This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
