<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A <strong>nursery rhyme</strong> is a traditional poem or song for children in Britain and many other countries, but usage of the term only dates from the late 18th/early 19th century. The term <strong>Mother Goose rhymes</strong> is interchangeable with nursery rhymes.</p><p>From the mid-16th century nursery rhymes begin to be recorded in English plays, and most popular rhymes date from the 17th and 18th centuries.The first English collections, <em>Tommy Thumb's Song Book</em> and a sequel, <em>Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book</em>, were published by Mary Cooper in 1744. Publisher John Newbery's stepson, Thomas Carnan, was the first to use the term Mother Goose for nursery rhymes when he published a compilation of English rhymes, <em>Mother Goose's Melody, or, Sonnets for the Cradle</em> (London, 1780).</p>
