Customer Reviews

very posh nursery rhymes

I loved it....We have a newborn daughter...it's so much more fun reading and singing these ones to her....gives it a new edge...it you have a girly girl...this is the book!!!! Love It!!! Just be careful she does not start asking for all of the things in this book in a couples of years, it will leave you bankrupt.

For Fashionista Mommies

Absolutly adorable and entertaining for moms and rhythmic for babies. It's definitly European lingo, but still great for us Americans!

Perfect baby shower gift!

I gave this book as part of a baby shower present and it was a hit! Granted the mom-to-be is a brand name shopoholic, but besides that, the book is very pretty and I like the delicate watercolor/ink illustrations. The thing I really like about this book is that there is a section at the end of the book that has all of the original nursery rhymes also.

Glorious!

I received this book as a gift when my third child was born. It is spectacular and wonderfully witty. My personal belief is that the reviews that cite it as mediocre and such are missing the point - this is a book that is fun for mom *and* fun for the kiddies. You won't find duckies and bunnies here - but you will find a wonderful play on nursery classics that appeals to the fashion-loving mom and her hip kiddos. And yes, the author is British. Therefore some of the references are British - makes perfect sense to me. That added a welcome level of complexity to the discussion with my 4 year old about how certain words in the same language might be used differently in different places. I love this book - and I know many adults sans kiddos who would love it as well.

LOL

This book was a christmas gift and it was my favorite. I laughed so hard!!! Fabulous little book.
