Nursery rhymes have been passed down by word of mouth from time immemorial, but in the last two or three centuries (perhaps to aid forgetful adults) they have ... appeared in books and sometimes with marvelous illustrations to please the young. Indeed, Mother Goose’s offerings ought to have a prominent place on every child’s bookshelf since, in the properly managed home, they are the Very First Book for Baby and a first musical introduction to the pleasures of poetry.
