Customer Reviews

An interesting book to add to your children's shelf.

I bought this book to get a more worldly view of nursery rhymes. I wanted to read some of the rhymes that are told to children in other countries, and wanted to expose my future kids to other cultures.The book does all of this with over 30 rhymes from various countries around the world. Some of the rhymes don't really rhyme as that was lost in translation, but it's still fun to see what is told to children in that country.Each page is a colorful bonanza of illustrations to accompany the rhyme. It's sure to keep your child's attention on the page as you read the rhymes.I recommend this book to anyone wanting to inject a bit of worldly culture into their child's reading time.
