Rossetti's Sing-Song

As I read Christina G. Rossetti's sing-song nursery rhyme book, I noticed it was a lot different than Robert Louis Stevenson's "A Child's Garden of Verses." Stevenson's children verses were happy, imaginative, adventerous, and "feel good;" while Rossetti's nursery rhymes weren't. I was very lost and confused as I read Rossetti's collection of nursery rhymes. None of them had titles so I never could tell if they coincided with the one on the next page or if it was just by itself. Also, Rossetti's book contained topics that weren't so happy and that dealt more with adults as opposed to young children. I also liked the illustrations in Stevenson's book a lot better too. Overall the main things discussed in her book were marriage, babies (birth), death, seasons, and women. I definately enjoyed Stevenson's writings much more than Rossetti's.
