在西方家庭，“Mother Goose”跟圣诞老人一样，家喻户晓、幼孺皆知。小宝贝们降临于世，便伴随着这些趣味无穷、朗朗上口的童谣，在大人怀抱中一天天长大。
《鹅妈妈》是一本源自英国民间（有些是从其他国家传入英国）的童谣集，这些童谣在英国流传时间久远，有的长达数百年。其内容典雅，颇有韵律，便于吟诵，包括幽默故事、游戏歌曲、儿歌、谜语、催眠曲、字母歌、数数歌、绕口令、动物歌等，是西方家庭父母与孩子耳熟能详的童谣集。
引入中国出版的此英文版，初版于1916年，由著名插图画家布兰琪•费雪•莱特绘图。幽默而充满生活情趣的彩色绘图，给大人和孩子带来无穷快乐与美好。有些童谣，蕴涵着特定历史故事与时代背景，为帮助国内读者理解，我们特邀请加拿大英语教育专家凯伦•L•史密斯女士专门为此版予以注解，因此这是全球第一个带有英文注解的Mother Goose，有助于中国父母和孩子更准确、更贴近地领略到Mother Goose瑰丽的魅力，对儿童英语启蒙颇有帮助。
