Synopsis

We are delighted to be reissuing this lovely book with new cover artwork from Ian Beck. It's a collection of rhymes to enjoy when baby is on your knee or cradled in your arms; jolly rhymes for playful babies and gentle rhymes for sleepy babies. Many traditional favourites are here, including
'This is the Way the Ladies Ride', 'Rub-a-Dub-Dub', and 'Rock-a-Bye-Baby' - and they are all cheerily illustrated by Ian Beck. The rhymes are gathered into four sections: knee-jogging rhymes; bouncing and dancing rhymes;, patting and clapping rhymes; and lullabies and rocking rhymes - and there are
introductory notes for parents at the beginning of each section. This is the perfect book to introduce babies to movement, rhyme and rhythm - great for playtime and bedtime.

From School Library Journal:

PreS This charming collection of rhythmic poems for the very youngest children includes 36 nursery rhymes from Mother Goose and other traditional sources. The rhymes are arranged in four sections: ``Knee-Jogging Rhymes,'' ``Bouncing and Dancing Rhymes,'' ``Patting and Clapping Rhymes,'' and ``Lullabies and Rocking Rhymes.'' The whimsical bright pastel illustrations make the book accessible to toddlers who have outgrown the early play activities but who would still delight in the bouncing rhythms of the poems. A fine addition for libraries serving preschoolers and their parents. Barbara Chatton, College of Education, University of Wyoming, Laramie
