Title: Short Attention-Span Mother Goose
Review: This book is like many other so-called Mother Goose collections available now: it truncates the original poems into little snippets. For instance, the original 12 verses of Hickory Dickory Dock are represented by one verse. This is true all the way through the book. Very few poems are present in their entirety, and those are the very short ones. If you're looking for a picture book, it's fine. But the description should, and doesn't, explain that the text is excerpts from the original (and wonderful) children's poems.The editors write at the end of the book that Moses is passing down an age-old folklore tradition. But he, and his editors, and the editors of similar books, are erasing more than they pass down. Do the sound-bites have to start in the cradle?
