This collection of 55 nursery thymes, specially reworked and adapted for South African children, is a must for every young child's bookshelf. Nursery rhymes are an essential part of a child's development, teaching youngsters rhythm and rhyme as well as word skills, and improving memory. They are also useful tools for helping to teach vocabulary and learning to count. The fun, colourful and often humorous illustrations are sure to capture the imagination and will make bedtime or anytime reading an activity that both children and parents can look forward to, and will have them returning to the rhymes time and time again.
