Rhymes from Mother Goose (Charles Welsh Compiler) Vintage 1930

From the Preface: The direct simplicity, dramatic imagination, and spontaneous humor of the rhymes and jingles of Mother Goose will probably never be excelled by any modern verse. Most of them are likely to remain for all time “the light literature of the infant scholar.” Experience proved these old rhymes and jingles to be well fitted for the awakening intelligence of the child. The “sound-sense,” to which many of them appeal, satisfies that instinctive feeling for rhythm which children, even before they learn to speak, manifest in their tendency to duplicate syllables, which is so marked in what may be described as the “goo-goo” and “ga-ga” stage of speech developement. Mother Goose has for generations furnished a rich storehouse from which mothers have gratified the baby sense for “time-sound,” or rhythm. This, combined with the appeal to the imagination, accounts for the abiding place which these rhymes and jingles have in the literature of the nursery.
