This sumptuous volume contains over seventy of the best-loved, most exuberant action rhymes. Each is introduced and acted out by an appealing little bear and a colourful supporting cast of animals, humans - and others! Join them for a dance round the mulberry bush, a walk through the jungle and a trip to the Animal Fair. Help them count ten fat sausages and five little piggies. Take your partners for the hokey cokey and your place at the Teddy Bear's Picnic. A section of notes at the back of the book gives information and diagrams on the actions that accompany the rhymes - so there's no excuse not to join in! Illustrated with characteristic brilliance by one of the world's great picture book artists, this volume of playtime rhymes is a delightful companion to the classic Michael Foreman's Nursery Rhymes.
