Praise for Sing a Song of Mother Goose:

“Lucky infants and toddlers can now meet both Reid’s illustrations and traditional literature in a finger friendly format, while having the longer version of the book waiting as they get older.” ****/4, highly recommended — Canadian Materials (board book edition)

“[Sing a Song of Mother Goose] reveals the astounding skill Reid exhibits in the manipulation of her medium. Intricate details right down to the stitching in little boy blue’s overalls and the wrinkles on Old Mother Hubbard’s face are amazing.” — Calvinist Contact

“A magnificent collection.” — The Canadian Children’s Book Centre, Our Choice

“Sing a Song of Mother Goose, a plasticene-art masterpiece, is absolutely a must-buy. It is clever, inventive, and beautiful, and blessed with a fine sense of humor to delight any reader, young or old. Though it belongs with the nursery rhymes, there is an argument for placing this beauty among the art books as well.” — Emergency Librarian

“Illustrations packed with subtle, delightful detail .” — London Free Press
