The Mother Goose Letters comprises the annotated correspondence between Mother Goose and her cohorts in Britain concerning migration to the Canadian Prairies. The letters reveal both her attempts to wheedle her fellow nursery rhyme characters to settle in the Prairies with her and their mixed responses to her plans. Responding to a cease and desist command from No. 10 Downing St., M. Goose categorically makes her case for the out-migration and re-migration of her stories. She supposes they will continue to live if she gives them leave to change as time, place, and experience dictate. She is, after all, a runaway Mother Goose. In print for the first time, The Mother Goose Letters presents scrupulously collated research in the form of hitherto unseen letters and previously unknown revisions of the best-known Mother Goose nursery rhymes and fairy tales. These collected works are used as the framework whereby a story of modern day immigration can be told.

Presents variations of popular nursery rhymes with environmentally-friendly twists, including "This Little Piggy," "Yankee Doodle," and Humpty Dumpty."

Contains materials for six early literacy lessons based on Mother Goose rhymes about night, each including a standard version of the nursery rhyme, variants, a brief historical note, a simple rhythm or melody for reciting the rhyme, storytime instructions, and related activities.
