Nursery rhymes have delighted children for hundreds of years, and they're still popular, along with fairy tales. You'll find both in the collection of books I've chosen for you and your child.
1. Wynken, Blynken, and Nod and Other Bedtime Rhymes
A collection of three of Field's story-poems, including "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod," "The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat," and "The Sugar Plum Tree."
2. The Movable Mother Goose
In his latest paper art creation, Sabuda perfectly pairs intricate pop-up structures with irreverently interpreted Mother Goose rhymes. Center pops, gatefold pops, and more bring this book to life in a glorious explosion of color. Full color. 6 spreads.
3. The Real Mother Goose
Never before have the classic Mother Goose rhymes been so irresistible! Young children will delight in exploring the book¹s touch-and-feel elements while they recite such favorite poems as Mary Had a Little Lamb, The Cat and the Fiddle, and Pat-a-Cake.4. Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
My little granddaughter loved this when she was younger. After their mother tucks them in, five little monkeys spent the rest of the night jumping up and down on their bed rather than sleeping. Color illustrations accompany the text.5. Mother Goose
