Customer Reviews

Can't remember that rhyme??

If not this is the book for you. It has hundreds of rhymes and tunes. Many I haven't seen in any other book of rhymes. Long lost and seldom heard rhymes, alternative verses and tunes are all included. My copy was lent to me to find a tune and I have to buy me own copy now as the Childcare wants it BACK!!!This will help you sing to your child and entertain them for hours and hours.

The One and Only For Me

These days my two and a half year old is unquenchable in his thirst for song requests all day long that I need a wide repertoire of songs. He will catch sight of just any item, speak its name and expect me to sing it off my head just like that. Imagine my delight when "This Little Puffin" sort of dropped onto my lap - it has just about every song, familiar and those not so, best of all it comes with short, simple words and melodies, and lots of repetition for little minds and ears to latch on to. And wonder of wonders, I know my son has been listening cos he is starting to serenade me right back. Need I say more about this book other than it is paying off - with dividends!
