As the book description says these are tales from the 1940s and 1950s, I was a bit confused.  So I looked up "Easter With Mother Goose" and learned that Walt Kelly, created 10 cent comic books for Easter and included reworked Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes to fit the season.In this particular book you will find three rhymes and a story.1.  Hot Cross Buns, (I also learned these are a Lenten treat)2. Jack's Easter Rhyme based on Jack Be Nimble3.  Hickery, Pickery, My Black Hen (with changes)The story is "Buddy Bunny's First Easter Adventure", which is around 20 pages with most pages having a small (about 1/6 of the page) illustration.  It is Buddy's first time being the Easter Bunny when he has a little mishap.The illustrations are typical examples of the time, with bright colors and lively faces.  According to what I read the publisher, RetroReads have taken the original pages, digitized and edited them.There is an interactive TOC, although the link for "Jack's Easter Rhyme" does not work the others' do.I recommend this book.
