My Son John

by Jim Aylesworth

Book Overview

Aylesworth has written 14 new verses to the Mother Goose rhyme Diddle, diddle dumpling in the pattern of the original--and created a whole new cast of characters to go with them. Jake eats pancakes, Ann milks her cow, and Joe weeds the garden, while other children perform tasks that are the same the world over. Full color.

What fun!

I love this book. My four year old and two year old love this book. The cadence in it is so catchy that we find ourselves singing it all day long. And the woodcut illustrations are a unique little treasure all in themselves. I'll be checking out more of Jim Aylesworth's books from our library!!!

An inspiring book like many others

This book is good from Ed to John.The John part is familiar from somewhere,except I don't really know where.For some reason my sister (who also read it) finds it boring,she only likes 2 of the girls.My 3 year old brother LOVED it as much as I did!My mom says he likes the rythem she read it in.Well I mostly liked the children from Ed to John.(In case you haven't noticed,Ed is 1st and John is the last.
