Most Mother Goose books can be found in the children's nonfiction section at 398.8. You can look for more Mother Goose in the board books section. When you are looking for a break from the traditional, try the books of Izza Trapani or Jane Cabrera. They are just two of the authors who take classic nursery rhymes and expand them into full picture books.
Pocketful of Posies by Sally Mavor
This collection of nursery rhymes is illustrated with incredibly beautiful and detailed fabric and thread creations. Mavor's rhyme selection has been loosely organized to follow the course of the day, starting with morning rhymes and closing with bedtime rhymes.
My Very First Mother Goose by Iona Opie
This is an ideal collection for reading aloud to the youngest children and babies. The illustrations but Rosemary Wells, creator of Max and Ruby, are big, bold and bright.
The Neighborhood Mother Goose by Nina Crews
Crews' collection of Mother Goose rhymes is illustrated in photo-mosaic style and set in her hometown of Brooklyn, NY. Crews brings the classic rhymes into the modern day by showing the "fine lady riding on a white horse" on a carousel and including a wide range of multi-ethnic kids in her illustrations.
Old Mother Hubbard by Jane Cabrera
This is a good example of a one rhyme picture book. Cabrera illustrates the classic rhyme with colorful, light-hearted illustrations.
