Buy this book

This book is wonderful for minority children! My child is Black, and can relate to the characters dipicted on the pages. Finally there exists a book of nursery rhymes, that does not ignore the fact that all children are not caucasion. 2 thumbs up I say!

why father Gander is such a great book

I am an 18 year old who got this book when I was little and i have treasured it ever since. This book only seeks to redo rhymes that can be bad influences on children not ones like twinkle twinkle little star this book works to help children feel good if you look in the illistrations you can find pictures of all kinds of people. people from different races and people with disablities all participating and working together. This book is a great book for kids to help promote values.

Father Gander

As a 70-year old grandmother and veteran of political correctness mandates, I was prepared to dislike this book intensely! BUT, I read it with my grandchildren, and now I feel - it is about time we had something like Father Gander! I am purchasing it for all babies from now on!

Charming, well-done updates to old favorites

This is a wonderful update to the old-fashioned Mother Goosenursery rhymes. Father Gander keeps the spirit and charm of theverses, but changes or adds to them to make them more in keeping withtoday's values and standards.
