Shakin’ Loose with Mother GooseWinner of the 1987 American Book Award for Educational Materials. The selections here are from the double LP where David Zaslow produced this incredible collection of Mother Goose rhymes set to jazz, rock, and blues tunes composed by Patti Moran McCoy. On the original LPs Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows rapped the rhymes that were edited by David Zaslow to remove the sexism and violence in some of the original rhymes.
