Accompanying this book is a CD that showcases each nursery rhyme in three different ways: Music & Lyrics (Tracks 1-5), Music Only (Tracks 6-10) and a capella (Tracks 11-15). We enjoyed listening to the folk style renditions of these classic nursery rhymes and found the CD to be enjoyable for both casual listening around the house and lengthy car trips.
My only wish here was that there was a code for a download of the music instead of a CD—if it weren’t for an old laptop we wouldn’t have had any place to play it except in the car. We did give it a listen there, but it’s just so much more fun to follow along with the book.

Another good review. I'm very interested to see which nursery rhymes are included. Little Boy Blue was a fav of mine! Jan Enders
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review of the book - looks like a fun listen/read for toddlers! My favorite to sing with my daughter is the Itsy Bitsy Spider - I love watching her do the motions while she sings along!
ReplyDeleteWell I can't think of my favorite nursery rhyme, so I'll just say twinkle twinkle because it is the first thing that popped in my mind! ~Alisyne
ReplyDeleteI really like the art work on the cover. Anything by H. A. Rey with a little Curious George in the mix gets a thumbs up in our house!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, certain nursery rhymes seem a little more mean spirited than I remember them being. Does anyone else feel this way? I sometimes try and find alternate phrases i.e: there was an old lady who swallowed a fly (oh me oh my instead of perhaps she'll die.) My little guy really likes Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put humpty together again. At which point, he likes to fall down himself. We have had a few conversations about why they couldn't fix Humpty. The word fragile comes up quite a lot since he was an egg. And funny enough, when a friend of ours fell and broke there hip - Will said, Mr. G. is kind of like Humpty Dumpty. Kind of interesting. Adrienne
