You can always find room for another book of nursery rhymes!

Especially this one. The artwork is interesting, and not all of the rhymes are going to be familiar to you and your child. Anybody looking for another rhyme to bounce a kid to or to recite or sing to shut them up, you can't spend a better $10 than on this book.
A wonderful collection

I love this book and enjoy reading it to my daughter. She loves it, because she has a sense of reading, having memorized many of the verses. It is a wonderful collection of children's rhymes and verses. I feel a real continuity between my own childhood and my daughter's by sharing these with her, as my own mother and grandmother shared these same rhymes with me. A treasure to keep.
Famous and not-so-famous rhymes, many uniquely American.

A very nice collection of rhymes for children, most of which are uniquely American. This is not only a nice little book for children and for the serious student of children literature (it won the 1946 Caldecott Medal for best illustration in a book for children), it is also a source of Americana.
