Summary: my favorite childhood author in print again...HURRAY!
Review: Mrs. Goose brings back so many fond memories of my childhood. Miriam Clark Potter's endearing books were always popping off our bookshelves! Of course, the fact that she was my great-aunt might have had something to do with that :) I hope this reprint is just the first of many...I am looking forward to more Mrs. Goose, that silly Mrs. Goose (hint hint). Makes me crack a goofy Mrs. Goose smile just to think about her!

Summary: Engaging laugh-out-loud family fun read
Review: Written and illustrated by Miriam Clark Potter, Just Mrs.goose is an anthology of zany short stories for young readers on the cusp of making the transition from nursery rhymes and picture books to simple narratives. Following the (mis)adventures of the warm-hearted but always bumbling Mrs. Goose, from babysitting chicks to baking a cake to visiting the new Animaltown library, Just Mrs. Goose is a delightful treasure for young ones to read on the own or out loud with an adult. A handful of simple, whimsical black-and-white illustrations add a warm touch to this engaging laugh-out-loud family fun read.
