| Mother Goose: A Scholarly Exploration |
|
Hickory, Dickery, Dock Nursery Fare - Museum of MemoriesThe Carol Jones illustration appears to be an attic full of treasures reminiscent of the items found in a nursery of days gone by. Antique toys that delight children of all ages (a rocking horse, an old train, a doll house, a baby carriage, a teddy bear, a tea set and blocks, etc.) are collecting cobwebs. There are a few books on a shelf, maybe a Mother Goose book, and, of course, the Grandfather clock that is commonly seen with the Hickory Dickory Dock rhyme. Can you find the train? The sailboat? The washboard? What else do you see in this picture? Why is this window open, letting the bird inside? Fine lines, patterns, crosshatching, and many details fill this illustration with possibilities for joyous discovery.
