在西方家庭，“Mother Goose”跟圣誕老人一樣，家喻戶曉、幼孺皆知。小寶貝們降臨于世，便伴隨著這些趣味無(wú)窮、朗朗上口的童謠，在大人懷抱中一天天長(zhǎng)大。
《鵝媽媽》是一本源自英國(guó)民間（有些是從其他國(guó)家傳入英國(guó)）的童謠集，這些童謠在英國(guó)流傳時(shí)間久遠(yuǎn)，有的長(zhǎng)達(dá)數(shù)百年。其內(nèi)容典雅，頗有韻律，便于吟誦，包括幽默故事、游戲歌曲、兒歌、謎語(yǔ)、催眠曲、字母歌、數(shù)數(shù)歌、繞口令、動(dòng)物歌等，是西方家庭父母與孩子耳熟能詳?shù)耐{集。
引入中國(guó)出版的此英文版，初版于1916年，由著名插圖畫(huà)家布蘭琪?費(fèi)雪?萊特繪圖。幽默而充滿生活情趣的彩色繪圖，給大人和孩子帶來(lái)無(wú)窮快樂(lè)與美好。有些童謠，蘊(yùn)涵著特定歷史故事與時(shí)代背景，為幫助國(guó)內(nèi)讀者理解，我們特邀請(qǐng)加拿大英語(yǔ)教育專家凱倫?L?史密斯女士專門(mén)為此版予以注解，因此這是全球第一個(gè)帶有英文注解的Mother Goose，有助于中國(guó)父母和孩子更準(zhǔn)確、更貼近地領(lǐng)略到Mother Goose瑰麗的魅力，對(duì)兒童英語(yǔ)啟蒙頗有幫助。
