8	''Mother Goose Club'' is a media brand of educational content for preschoolers. There are online videos, DirectToDVD mini-episodes, and music albums. The franchise follows six iconic nursery rhyme characters -- [[LargeHam Baa Baa Sheep]], [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Eep the Mouse]], [[NiceGirl Little Bo Peep]], [[ThePrankster Jack B. Nimble]], [[GenkiGirl Mary Quite Contrary]] and [[TheLeader Teddy Bear]] -- who perform songs and skits featuring both classic and new songs.

10	The brand's live-action content is produced in Nashville, Tennessee. There are also various animated segments featuring the cast, which, until 2017, were animated in UsefulNotes/ToonBoom Harmony. The videos are available on Website/YouTube, distributed on Creator/{{Netflix}}, and broadcast on local Creator/{{PBS}} stations.

15	!!''Mother Goose Club'' provides examples of:
16	* ADayInTheLimelight: "Eight Planets" stars recurring character Humpty Dumpty, while the MGC are absent.
17	* AerithAndBob: Mary, Jack, and Teddy are the only ones in the club that have normal names.
18	* AllCGICartoon: Since 2017, most of the cartoon videos are animated in CGI, though there are some rare 2D videos that pop up.
19	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: In the MGC universe, animals come in all colors. Sheep are pink and mice are blue.
20	* AmbiguouslyHuman: Baa Baa, Teddy, and Eep may be a sheep, bear, and mouse respectively, but they have human faces and hands. It is unclear if they are {{Half Human Hybrid}}s or if they are meant to be interpreted as full animals.
21	* ArtEvolution: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyI3dXIPCYM As shown in "Jingle Bells"]], the art style for the cartoons was much more crude looking, resembling the brand's coloring books. In "Swimming", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrZgSl1Ifwk the art style was similar, but more refined]]. The art style since [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a44NFSiIn54 "The Planting Song"]] aims for a chibi-esque look. And finally, the art style since [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFxJ0oAZ0Ws Itsy Bitsy Spider]] is CGI.
22	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Eep the Mouse is the youngest of the team, but is treated as an equal regardless.
23	* BaseballEpisode: The gang plays baseball in "Take Me Out to the Ball Game".
24	* BearyFriendly: Teddy Bear is a warm-hearted bear whose wisdom commands respect.
25	%%* TheBigGuy: Jack, Teddy, and Baa Baa.
26	%%* BirthdayEpisode: Baa Baa has her birthday in ''Today is Your Day''.
27	* {{Bowdlerization}}: The group sings some nursery rhymes with darker meanings to them, but given the demographic, they're retooled to be kid-friendly.
28	%%* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: This happens when the group rushes into the barn during a storm in "The Planting Song"
29	%%* CallBack: All of the DirectToVideo episodes have the characters reminisce previous segments.
30	* CaringGardener: Mary is a gardener who takes good care of her plants. She mostly gardens flowers, but she has also planted fruits and vegetables.
31	* CartoonyEyes: In the cartoons, the characters have eyes shaped like black ovals with white highlights, but no discernible sclera.
32	%%* CheerfulChild: Virtually every character.
33	* EdutainmentShow: Teaches kids about literacy and sometimes other subjects like counting or the planets.
34	%%* EverybodyLaughsEnding: Happens in a lot of videos.
35	* FriendToAllLivingThings:
36	** Although Bo Peep often loses her sheep, she still loves them very much.
37	** Mary is as good with animals as she is with plants, and is practically revered by them.
38	%%* GreenAesop: "Earth is Our Home".
39	* KidsDrivingCars: Mary has a car which she drives in "Driving In My Car".
40	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Two notable duos fall into this trope. Jack has blue hair and Mary has a pink dress. Eep has blue fur and Bo Peep has pink hair.
41	* ThePrankster: Jack likes playing practical jokes, most notably in "Swimming".
42	* PublicDomainCharacter: The characters are all based on nursery rhymes, which are alluded to in their names. Eep the Mouse is based on "Hickory Dickory Dock", by the way, which his name doesn't immediately indicate.
43	* RoseHairedSweetie: The pink-haired Bo Peep is soft-spoken and gentle.
44	* StockAnimalDiet: Eep the Mouse loves cheese.
45	* TwoGirlsToATeam: Inverted. There are only two guys in the club, Jack and Eep.
46	* VagueAge: Mary, Jack, Eep, and Bo Peep are obviously kids, but Baa Baa and Teddy are ambiguous. They are played by adults, but they still behave like children.
