Mister Whiskers: My Favourite Nursery Rhymes is a popular children's music album. It was re-released in 1998 by Franciscus Henri, a well-known children's entertainer. The album was originally released in 1993 under the name My Favourite Nursery Rhymes. Both versions were released by ABC for Kids, which is part of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

This album was very successful in Australia. It sold over 35,000 copies, earning a special "Gold sales certification." This means it was a big hit!

The album has 23 different songs or "tracks." What's cool is that 17 of these tracks are actually "medleys." A medley is when several shorter songs or rhymes are put together into one longer track. These medleys combine two to four rhymes each. In total, the album features 55 different nursery rhymes. Some of these rhymes only include their main part or chorus.

The original 1993 version of the album was even nominated for an award. It was recognized at the ARIA Music Awards of 1994 for "Best Children's Album." This shows how much people enjoyed Franciscus Henri's work!
