My favorite but only because I grew up with it

This is the Mother Goose that my generation grew up with.  This gives it the advantage of containing the rhymes my generation recites with ease.  However, if one looks at it objectively, the order of the rhymes is often a  result of poem or picture size rather than a comfortable flow ... the  equivalent of a DJ ordering the songs by the color of the label. [insert  your own argh]
The pictures were quaint when I was growing up.  They will  continue to appeal to some children but those children will need to be  selected careful.
This is a good Mother Goose for Grandma's house but  there are better to give the child.

I was just a toddler when this song came out. I loved it then and still love it now.  I think it's a cute love song. The remake isn't bad, but it doesn't sound the same. I wish musicians would learn from the sounds of the songs of the 80's. If they are so popular now they must have been doing something right.  Growing up with them is a bonus too. It's nice to kick back and listen to songs like this and let the memories flow.

I am biased for I grew up in The Bronx...but its well made and brings back memories every time I look down.

I got this book 22 years ago as a teenager. I loved it and read it so often it fell apart. I need to buy another one. If I had to choose an all-time favorite book, this would be it.

This book was my favorite book growing up, i was about 6 when my parents used it to help me start to learn how to read. Truthfully the only childhood book I remember.

I grew up in Chicago and my high school was right across the street from a White Castle restaurant.  That was many, many years ago and I live hundreds of miles away now.  This book brought back fond memories for me.  I also never knew that there were actual recipes with White Castle hamburgers as ingredients.  It is amazing.  I would trade some of the recipes for more nostalgia but otherwise it is a very entertaining little book.

Brought back memories of my childhood.  Though, I must say that when I play it over and over, I probably loved it more as a kid.

I saw it for the first time when I was a young boy. I was so impressed then. For years this version was unavailable and I always wanted to see it again. Seeing  it as an adult was disappointing. It was not as good as I had remembered. Still, I am glad it became available. I bought the version for old times sake. The Alastair Sim version is my favorite followed closely by the Reginald Owen version. These two are more appealing to an adult audience.

This book is old fashioned, out of date, and the illustrations are deliciously creepy. I enjoyed it as a child in the 90's not despite but rather because of this. The wackiness and delicious creepiness are all I remembered when I recently repurchased it, and the wonky dated storyline is incidental to the eeriness of the drawings, but nevertheless it carries its own nostalgic magic. Still one of my favorites. It's a must on any eccentric family's children's shelf.

This is my favorite book it's a short old one but my mom showed me it when I was a kid and I do love it. I've read it 4 times and just repurchased it because I lost it to get it back and read it again because I moved and lost it. Over all very good book and story

I'm currently 29 and this was one of my favorite books growing up.  Glad to see they're still reprinting some classics instead of going along with the current trend of having computer animated anthropomorphic vehicles (See Disney Pixar's "Cars" franchise).  The relative realism this book conveyed as compared to some of the other "kidcentric" books out there was the most entertaining and interesting part to me.

From my childhood in the 1950's, when hardly a soul had discovered this now-in work, it was my very favorite book.  I love it in hardcover form, recently rereading and enjoying it on Kindle.  I love the films that have been made...all of them.  I've given the hardcover, leather-like spine of the Children's classic version as a gift to a number of special-friend children.  "The Secret Garden" continues to speak to me all these years later in a way few books do.

I remember this book and the "do you like my hat" exchange from when I was a kid. I just bought it for my kid. I never remember getting tired of it. It's all over the place and fun. I don't even like dogs and I love it. There's something about it's organization that really appeals to a kid's mind.
It must be my kid memory but it seemed like the copy I bought had lower-quality illustrations than I remember. Every child deserves to be read this book along with "Where the Wild Things Are" and other classics.

I loved this book as a teenager.  I read it every few months, connected perfectly with the characters, felt uplifted by their fantastic stories, etc.  However, I just reread it (I'm 23 now) and it just doesn't feel as fantastic as it used to feel.

Love this because it reminds me of my childhood.  On occasion, Mom was in a hurry and made this as a side.  She was best cook ever but life happens and can't always make from scratch.  I'm so happy I found it cuz I couldn't in stores where I live.

This is the one my wife remembers from her childhood.
