Delightful introduction to rhythm and rhyme...

Not only will your child gain essential coordination skills but they will be giggling themselves silly in some of the rhymes. Round and Round the Garden is perfect for baby, as is Slowly, Slowly. Who doesn't remember This Little Pig Went to Market. I can remember giggling myself silly as a child because my feet were so ticklish. Itsy-bitsy Spider is one of my all-time favorite rhymes. Pat-a-cake is a rhyme no child should miss. I would recommend this book to mothers with very young children. There is music between the rhymes on the tape and the English accents are delightful to listen to. The step-by-step pictures encourage playfulness and interaction between child and parent. There are many fun games mothers can play to entertain a baby. The pictures are also delightful, so the book can be used for reading at a later stage. If you love this book/tape set, look for Action Rhymes which is much more active and children will love the tape. I can also recommend Nursery Rhymes by Debi Gliori. If you are careful when opening this tape set, you can use the plastic cover to store the tape and book together!TheRebeccaReview.com
