Reseña del libro "Old Mother Mitten and Her Funny Kitten (en Inglés)"
This anonymously authored nursery rhyme book, originally illustrated with woodcut prints, and published in 1825, is a delightful little tale for young readers. As a companion to the familiar "Old Mother Hubbard," which had a sad ending, this cheerful story has a happy ending, making it a perfect book for a child's bedtime story. The full-color illustrations are based on the original, black-and-white prints. Children and adults of all ages will love the antics of Dame Trot's Comical Cat! Preserving and republishing this, and similar, nursery rhyme collections helps to preserve the literary and cultural heritage of the English-speaking world, which should never be allowed to sink into obscurity. The history and culture of England are the history and culture of many throughout the world, and should always be cherished. Parents, grandparents, older siblings, and care-givers can do few things better than to encourage young children to read, and to give them words of quality to read; Mother Goose's timeless nursery rhymes will feed the imaginations of the children who hear and read them. Nursery rhymes that were acceptable for children of the 19th Century might prove confusing or unsettling for children of the 21st Century, so far removed in tiome from the manners and issues of that time; parents are encouraged to read these rhymes with their children. Debbie Barry, editor of this reproduced volume, is legally blind. Reminding children and parents that blindness does not keep a person from being an active, creative, productive person, nor do other physical, mental, or developmental handicaps, as long as they decide to do everything they can do, instead of letting things they cannot do limit them. Debbie encourages every child and parent to enjoy the freedom of what they CAN do, and to delight in the wonders of life.
