Customer Reviews

Great book--buy it!

All the nursery rhymes and songs you remember from your childhood and then more. Lovely illustrations and extremely attractive layout. Other treasuries of rhyme seem boring in comparison. This one, my daughter loves, and I love to read it out to her.

Just what I wanted.

I could remember the tunes but not all the words to some of those old rhymes. This book filled in the gaps plus it has lots of other rhymes, to share with my child.

My son LOVES this book!!

At the ripe age of one and a half, he's dog-eared this book and knows all the rhymes. When he wants to hear one, he'll start saying the first line. This book has a great collection of traditional rhymes and an interesting sprinkling of international rhymes, combined with wonderful illustrations. We never travel without this one.

The most complete of the many "colletions" books

I bought at least 4 books on collections of children's rhymes and this one is by far the most complete. The illustrations are good, although they lean a bit too much in the "Where the wild things are" direction for my taste. However, whereas some of the other collections books tend to be full of more illustrations than rhymes, this one fits the bill with a perfect balance between both.Did you know that "Rockabye baby" actually has three verses, not one and that "Mary Had a Little Lamb" has eight verses, not four? Can you remember all the words to "This is the house that jack built" or "The Farmer takes a wife" or "I had a cat and the cat pleased me"? If you'd like to be able to answer yes to these questions, buy this book! It's truly your best choice in the "children's collection of rhymes" group.Of course, my toddler loves the book - it's a favorite for long car rides.

FULL of rhymes - charming illustrations

We borrowed this book from the library,and our just-about two-year-old will receive a copy for her birthday, as she would like to read it night and day. The illustrations are pretty, yet energetic and not overly sweet, and the content will last several years. Also, this book is very well priced
