A 1958 classic is back! Only a few years ago (1950s) we walked on solid earth. Today we whirl through space. Space is big. It is not cozy. But with these verses and drawings, cheerfulness breaks in. Suddenly, science seems merry. And space begins, with the rhyme on page 1, to feel a little more like home.

This collection of satirical nursery rhymes from the early Sixties made a great impression on me at the time... and although some of the science has become a little dated, it's still a fun read for any kid or adult with even a smattering of knowledge about physics, outer space, the Relativity Theory, and the old nursery songs.

Stands the test of time
My kids are all in their 20's now, but they remember with fondness the wonderful, quirky adaptations of nursery rhymes in "The Space Child's Mother Goose". My personal favorite is "Possible, Probable, My Black Hen". Great stuff, and great fun!

I was exposed to this when I was quite young, and now am making sure all my young relatives have the same experience.
