I found this edition of Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes at a Candace estate sale a month or so ago. All books were $1, but I had gotten there pretty late and there wasn’t much left. It was a fascinating sale, at the home of a woman who had been a faculty member of the University of Chicago for many, many years. The house was rambling and beautiful, it was a pretty day, and I just really enjoyed looking around, so it was a bonus when I found this book. I almost didn’t look at it — it had an ugly library cover on it and didn’t look cute at all. Thank God I pulled it down and flipped through it, because I found this:
Dreamy! It’s a music book, and for each piece of music…
…there is a beautiful illustration.
I think it would be cute to frame the music and the illustration and hang them together.
I love this one, because I recently introduced the twins to “This Little Piggy Went to Market.”
I found this while doing links for Zero to Twins — six reproduction nursery rhyme prints for $200. Whatevs, people. Hit a few estate sales and you can find a treasure like this one — for the princely sum of $1.
