        her power extends beyond babies and toddlers to many aspects of adult
        life. Scholars study the literary history of Mother Goose as well as
        social and historical referents in these nursery rhymes. The instantaneous
        recognition of characters and events leads to allusions in other literary
        works, in popular culture, and in advertising. Thus, this website builds
        on the familiarity, the popularity and the potential of multiple levels
        of learning inherent in Mother Goose.
