My toddler adores this book. The colors are bright, the pictures are large, the rhymes are traditional, and mostly familiar ("Baa Baa Black Sheep," "Jack and Jill"). As I'm reading,I do alter such harsh though realistic nursery rhymes as "There was an old woman." Instead of saying that she scolds her children and sends them to bed, I'm compelled to say that she kisses them kindly. The artwork, I think, is better than that in the Rosemary Wells collection of nursery rhymes.
