WORLD OF BOOKSNew BookfOf VersesBy CLARICE BOSACKERa“Mother Goose”By Gyo Fujikawa 125 pp., $3.95.Grosset DunlapA NEW “Mother Goose” book Is always welcome, and Grosset Dunlap’s new edition is better than most — at least partly because of the illustrations both in black and white an color, by Gyo Fujikawa. The volume measures y1^” by 12V4” and includes many old favorites, some not so familiar, and a few brand new nursery rhymes.This reader, at least, has never heard of . .Terrence McDiddler, the stringed fiddler (who) can charm if you please, the fish from the seas. . .” Or, of . .Old Mother Shuttle who lived in a coal scuttle, along with her dog and her cat. . .”The more than 300 verses are Indexed by name as well as by first lines. Gyo Fujikawa’s drawings are, as always, imaginative. Many of them are fullpage and in color.
