"The Metropolitan Mother Goose" by Elizabeth C Watson, illustrated by Emma Clark, published by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, New York, undated late 1920s. First edition.

Green pictorial soft cover showing a Mother Goose with her siblings under her wings on the front cover [some soiling and wear, one drop of seal-wax on the back cover]; 5.1/4" x 7.3/4"; staple bound; 24 pages including covers, all pages are orange colored and fully illustrated in color, very good condition.

The 24 old nursery rhymes here have been "modernized" somewhat to tout health and fitness to children.

"Each nursery rhyme has been revised by Elizabeth C. Watson to have a happy ending (i.e, Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard was filled with wholesome food!) But Clark's illustrations are really the stars here - so adorable and whimsical. It's a real keeper for anyone who loves vintage children's books." [from a review]
