Denslow's Mother Goose by W.W. Denslow

2.0

This compilation of 42 classic nursery rhymes and poems features artwork by the original illustrator of L. Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz. The stylized images, while likely considered colorful and whimsical in 1901, seem muted and odd by modern standards. Among the pictures are several that are racially and culturally inappropriate, including a depiction of an Indian man in “There was a fat man of Bomaby,” a black servant in “Poor old Robinson Crusoe,” and Native Americans in “Hush-a-bye, baby.”
