You could probably guess that the Crib Rock Blog’s first children’s book recommendation would be a collection of nursery rhymes. What you might not expect is that we’ve chosen Arnold Lobel’s Book of Mother Goose. 

Why? Because Mr. Lobel, a highly accomplished illustrator, accompanied each poem, limerick and tongue twister with one of his classic drawings - no small feat when you’ve created a vast collection of more than 300 classic nursery rhymes.   

With the book costing a tad less than $15.00 and sure to provide many years of enjoyment and education, it rates tops with Crib Rock as a birthday and baby shower gift.  Available for purchase at Amazon.com.
