Title: These are Some Messed Up Rhymes
Review: I'm shocked to see that these books are still selling today. I had this exact book when I was little, and my mother brought the old copy to me cause she thought my daughter might like to have it. I don't think I'm going to bother giving it to her. I was frightened by this book when I was little. Mother Goose looks more like a wicked witch, stealing a baby, on the cover. There are tons of nursery rhymes, but most of them are very obscure, some only a couple lines long. And maybe I am reading too much into them, but a lot of them seem full of sexual innuendo and possible drug references. One titled "Robin and Richard" seems the most questionable, about two grown men staying in bed until 10 o'clock. I'm not prejudiced at all, but this seems like a very strange rhyme for children to be reading. Everything about this book is disturbing to me.
