Mini Mother Goose

We know that Mother Goose comes in all sizes and shapes, but it is a real pleasure to discover such charming dime-size treasures. These two editions of nursery rhymes are scaled for the shelves of doll house libraries. Unlike many such books, however, these are real books with full text and illustrations that are readable - with excellent eyesight or a good magnifying glass. Because these books are so tiny and delicate, they were difficult to scan without destroying them. We have, therefore, scanned only the cover, title page, and one inside page from each book to share at least a bit of the joy conveyed by these tiny parcels.
