POSITIVELY MOTHER GOOSE
Carefully rewritten to preserve the musical rhythm of
the originals, these refreshing new versions of the
400-year-old nursery rhymes promote the values of
self-esteem, lifelong learning, and innovative thinking.
A
re-written rhyme from Positively Mother Goose;
There
was a BOLD woman who lived in a shoe,
She had many children and knew what to do.
" You are all lovable with special gifts," she said,
She hugged them all fondly and tucked them in bed.
"The rhymes are heartening...and full of positive
imagery. A must-have for any youngster."

words that open the gates to the Kingdom of Self-Esteem.
Blending a lively narrative, charming illustrations, and
valuable lessons in living, this book conducts young
readers to the enchanted realm where twenty-four
remarkable animals, each embodying a facet of
self-esteem, await them.

lovable animal gives children a way of identifying with

scientists to be the key to preventing crime and alcohol
and drug abuse, high self-esteem is a gift that endures
for a lifetime.
