Summary:
-The neighborhood Mother Goose contained both very well known and lesser known tales. They also contain illustrations of the city at night. It is a much more modern version of Mother Goose tales than any I have ever seen. Preschoolers will enjoy seeing kids like them in these illustrations and rhyming that is imaginative and creative.

Extension Activities:
-Have each child chose one Mother goose story that is their favorite. Have them make new and more exciting illustrations that have to do with the poem but try to relate the illustrations even more to your life. Explain the picture you created to the class.
- Draw a picture of your favorite character in the book. Why is it your favorite character. Which is your favorite Mother Goose tale?
