I remember loving this book in my own childhood and it is just as good two generations on, presumably printed as a facsimile. Many rhymes invite the reader to play with the baby (This little Pig went to Market; Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake; This is the Way the Ladies Ride, etc) while other rhymes will be less familiar and those like Peter Piper or Two Legs sat uon Three Legs, will seem very clever and great jokes to children of five and six.
I'd say it is a book for the very young if it werent for Harold Jones's illustrations, which make it a book for all ages. What a delightful artist! Harold Jones is the perfect antidote to too much Disneyfication of childhood. Buy and enjoy it whatever age you are or however august your bookshelves.

This is one of the earliest books I remember from my own childhood. Now I have a child of my own I want to have it in the house again.
Beautiful illustrations to go with lots of classic nursery rhymes.

Battered and bruised is this book i read it every night to my 3yr old he & i never tire of it. After a tough day at work its the greatest stress buster for any dad to sit & sing 3 blind mice, & Solomon Grundy before he settles his sleepy head. Pure Timeless Pleasure!!!

comprehensive nursery rhyme book.
I remember this very vaguely from when I was a child. It's the best recently published nursery rhyme book I have seen with lovely illustrations.

Lovely traditional book
Includes all the nursery rhymes I remember from my childhood plus a few I don't! Includes second and third verses for many rather than just the commonly known first verses. Read more
