Select:
The Real Mother Goose (Johanna Cormier)
The best Mother Goose site I've run across. (The rhyme pages take a long time to load.)
Nursery
Rhymes (Tracy Lightfoot)
Just the rhymes; not a lot of fluff.
Nursery
Rhymes (Zelo's Family Resources)
Ditto the above.
The
Mother Goose pages (Pat Anderson)
Rhymes arranged by topic.
A
Rhyme and a Reason
An attempt to trace the origins of nursery rhymes. (The GeoCities banners get really annoying.)
Mama
Lisa's House of Nursery Rhymes (Lisa Yannucci)
Nursery rhyme presentations geared towards kids.
Nursery
Rhyme Land
A fairly odd presentation of 16 of the rhymes. Kids might like them.
Nursery
Rhymes collected by Daughter Goose
Nineteen nursery rhymes, with some illustrations. (The GeoCities banners get really annoying.)
Mother Goose's "Gravesite," Granary Burying Ground, Boston, Massachusetts
A slightly credible story of the origin of Mother Goose says that she
was Elizabeth Foster (Ver)goose, wife of Isaac Vergoose, of Boston,
Massachusetts. This website shows a photograph of the gravestone of
Mary, Isaac Vergoose's first wife. In any case, Elizabeth Goose
did not invent the rhymes; rather, says the story, they were collected by her.
The Mother Goose float (The Great Circus Parade)
A Mother Goose float from a circus parade in Wisconsin.
