- Hello Dear Reader,
Mother Goose Etc. is an altruistic result of several qualities occurring simultaneously: ability (both technical and financial) - desire - determination - and need, although not necessarily in that order.
Beginning at the beginning, being most logical, I must relate that at an early age my Mother introduced me to Mother Goose Rhymes, Bible Stories, and Aesop's Fables. Being raised in a poorer middle-class family, my Mother had more love than anything else to give, and she did it by instilling in me values and interests which have accompanied and guided me through out my entire life.
"Ding, Dong, Bell" teaches against cruelty to animals. "Mary Had a Little Lamb" teaches to be loved, one must also love. Aesop's fables cover such topics as Beware of what you ask for in the "Frogs Asked for a King" to Flattery in the "Fox and the Crow". Bible Stories teach us such as not to steal, not to murder, to be respectful to our parents, etc. These principles are the foundation of our system of law, and follow us through out our lives. Limericks, are for fun; they're the easiest form of poetry to understand and appreciate and give us a foundation for more serious writing.
So, the point is that Mother Goose Rhymes, with Bible Stories, Aesop's Fables and Children's Stories at large are the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Enjoy these offerings, written and audio, they're classic, good, and finally, ultimately rewarding.
Sincerely, Bob Butler, et al.
