Anna Banana

We love this book, it has all the ryhmes I grew up with and more! My daughter is having a great time learning them and teaching them to her friends.

SCHOOLYARD FUN

ANYONE who EVER jumped rope at recess will love this book! It has ALL the oldies we grew up with, plus new chants for the upcoming generation. These types of books are hard to come by, but are a treasure to have on hand when we do.

Good Book!

My daughter enjoyed this book.I do wish it had some color in its illustrations.Fast shipping!!!!!!!

Great fun

For anyone who jumped rope a great deal (this excludes me) or swung the rope while others jumped (this includes me), this book is sure to have some favorite rhymes. As such, it is an interesting way to initiate cross-generational discussions - jump-rope rhymes are school yard folklore with astounding staying power. The book is also useful as a way to encourage young "couch potatoes" to get a bit of time outside with requiring outside to be a large space.Of course, the best way to use the book is simply to enjoy it.

Hopping fun! It will take you back to your playground days.

What great fun to be reminded of the jump rope rhymes of my youth. And even greater fun to share them with my daughter. I hope you enjoy this collection of rhymes as much as we do.
