Customer Reviews

Memory Skills

Until recently, I hadn't thought much about cumulative tales helping with memory but they do. I recommend not skipping a word as you go back over the previous steps. Children (and I) love the art work also in this edition. I also recommend these cumulative tales and songs. There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, The Buggy That Boogied Away, and She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain.

Delightful Language Skills

The illustrator adds a special delight to this old cumulative tale. In addition to the visual and auditory treat, tales such as this are a great boost to language skills.

Giggles galore!

My one-year-old son adores this book and brings it to me several times a day to read it to him. It's text-heavy with tons of repetition, so we skip every few verses. He giggles at the rhythm of the text and sometimes even dances side to side. The illustrations are very colorful, consistent with the author's other books and those in this series. I highly recommend!

BRINGS BACK MEMORIES!

I read this book as a child, and now am reading this book to my nieces and nephew. What a joy it is to read such good books to young children. This is a must for anyone with youngsters. Buy it! You will not regret it.
