Axel Scheffler: Songs and Poems Mother Goose Sang and Told to Her Goslings

One spring, Mother Goose laid three eggs, and soon three goslings were born: Pluch, Lucy and Baby. Mother Goose was very proud of them and taught them everything that real geese should know and be able to do. Pinch soft coastal grass, swim in a wide river, dive for delicious algae, fall asleep standing on one leg, and walk behind it in single file, beautifully waddling from side to side.
But it is not so easy to learn all this. And then Mother Goose began to tell her goslings different rhymes and stories. She entertained them with tongue twisters and counting rhymes. During the day, she sang songs to them, under which it was convenient to dance and flap their wings, and at night - lullabies, under which it was cozy to fall asleep.
And they were such folding rhymes and songs that other geese also began to tell and sing them to their children. And after them, ducks, and swamp chickens, and water rats, and field mice - all who lived on a large river. And finally, one wise old heron took a pen and wrote them all down to the last line. That is how this book came to be.
