The rhymes in this collection were chosen by a foremost chronicler of the oral lore of children. The large pages and generously sized typeface make it perfect for sharing with small groups. What makes this book special is the sheer joy and exuberance of Rosemary Wells' illustrations, inhabited by friendly animals - especially rabbits. They incorporate fascinating detail and sometimes tell a different story from the rhyme. An excellent introduction to poetry.
