Knopf is proud to reissue the complete and unabridged Arnold Lobel-illustrated treasury of Mother Goose rhymes, originally published in 1986 as <i>The Random House Book of Mother Goose</i> and unavailable for several years. Reviewers were unanimous in their acclaim of a collection &quot;brimming over with energy...distinguished by abundant humor and a rich variety of moods and styles&quot; (<i>School Library Journal,</i> starred review). The beloved creator of the Frog and Toad books included 306 nursery rhymes--several hundred more than any other quality edition of Mother Goose--and &quot;all are illustrated in a cornucopia of drawings which demonstrates the range of [his] technique and imagination&quot; (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>). <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> called it &quot;brilliant,&quot; while <i>The Washington Post Book World</i> praised it as &quot;surely one of the most satisfying nursery-rhyme books ever made.&quot;
