As a children's librarian, who did 4-6 storytimes a week, this was one of my favorite resources for fingerplays; not because of the illustrations or charm, but because if I needed to find a rhyme about a zebra, I could look in the index and there was one (or maybe two) right there. The book was unavailable for awhile, and I was delighted to find it back in print. It is not for the average mom who wants to share rhymes with her children. There are lots better books out there for that situation; but if you need lots of rhymes about lots of subjects, this is the book you want.
Excellent resource for preschool teachers. A must have!

This book is a fantastic resource for preschool teachers. It has rhymes and fingerplays as well as pictures that can be used with almost any theme. The possibilities are endless. If you can afford only one book for your preschool class, this is the one to have.
An essential resource for children's librarians!

This book is just what I needed as a brand-new children's librarian! It contains songs and rhymes for all kinds of subjects under the sun. Best of all, it's very well indexed. Use it to plan storytimes, teach parents to play with kids, and develop theme teaching units. A fantastic resource!
