Mother Goose is the imaginary author of several rhymes and fairy tales. The term, Mother Goose, is a part of English literature in 1590 A.D. and in French literature around 1620 to 1630 A.D. Charles Perrault published a collection of nursery rhymes and short stories around 1695 A.D. These became known in French as “Tales of my Mother Goose.” Robert Samber translated the book into English in 1729 A.D. Then, in 1786, it was reprinted in America. Therefore, Mother Goose has been a teacher in the United States since it began.

Mother Nature, also an imaginary figure, has been a way of personifying earth. She is said to be Demeter, the goddess of nature in Greek Mythology. The concept of Mother Nature dates as far back as 4500 B.C. in ancient myths and religions. Consequently, she is even older than Mother Goose.
