From the vast and colorful imagination of Mary Engelbreit springs a Mother Goose world bursting with warmth and humor. All the favorite time-honored characters are here -- Little Bo-Peep, Humpty Dumpty, Old King Cole, Jack and Jill, and many, many more, along with such treats as a mouse running up the clock, piggies going to market, and children dancing round the mulberry bush.
As complete as can be with one hundred rhymes in all, this is truly a book to treasure. It's a masterful collection of the adorable, the zany, and the beautiful that will be cherished for generations.
Mary Engelbreit grew up studying the illustrations in her mother's vintage storybooks, and she developed a unique style that reflects those simpler times. Mary's distinctive images have made her a celebrity to millions, who eagerly snap up gift items, calendars, books, fabrics, and more.
Mary's dearest wish has always been to illustrate for children. Her edition of The Night Before Christmas positively glows with the sense of wonder, spirited wit, and nostalgic warmth that is her signature around the world. Young readers can also enjoy Queen of Christmas, Queen of the Class, Queen of Hearts, and Queen of Easter, the further picture-book adventures of Mary's irrepressible alter ego, Ann Estelle.
