All Seven of Mine Loved This Whole Series

There is a two page spread for each nursery rhyme, plus the fold over panel. The panel hides the animal in the illustration and asks a question, ('What did Mary have?'). You open the panel to reveal the lamb cavorting about and you read the entire nursery rhyme to answer the question and delight your children. My children found the format enchanting, and the illustrations delightful. They loved to have me ask the questions and open the fold to show the answer and hear Mom read the whole nursery rhyme aloud just one more time. Each of our children seemed to love these books best between the ages of 2 and 4, and during that time these books were oft requested at bedtimes and constant companions in the car. They are small enough to fit nicely into little hands. These books made it easy for our little ones to learn some basic nursery rhymes (so important for early speech and rhyme patterns, and more importantly, fun!), to pretend to read themselves, to listen and follow a question and answer format, and more. They are seemingly simple, but there's a lot of value in these sweet little treasures.
