Unwrapping the book





Babies learn best with lots of interaction in their waking moments.   Experts say that you should talk to them, sing to them and read to them as they develop, some suggesting to do that even when they are still in the womb.

This amazing book introduces babies to language: words, rhythm, patterns and the fluidity of speaking aloud ... all encapsulated in these classic nursery rhymes.  A collection of 30 nursery rhymes from the Mother Goose Collection and beyond are presented enriched by unbelievably delightful hand-embroidered illustrations on cloth.  

Here are the favourites chosen for you:

Hey, Diddle Diddle; Baa, Baa, Black Sheep; This Little Piggy; Hush Little Baby; Hickory, Dickory, Dock; Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star; Little Bo-Peep; Pussy-cat, Pussy-cat; Row, Row, Row Your Boat; The Itsy Bitsy Spider; London Bridge; Mary Had a Little Lamb; One, Two, Buckle My Shoe; Humpty Dumpty; Rub-a-dub-dub; Pat-a-Cake; I Saw a Ship A-Sailing; Old MacDonald; Rock-a-Bye Baby; The Wheels on the Bus; I’m a Little Teapot; This Old Man; Jack and Jill; The Muffin Man; Little Miss Muffet; The Owl and the Pussy-cat; Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush; Old Mother Hubbard; Pop! Goes the Weasel; Are you Sleeping?

It is suggested in the book that you present these gems daily to your little one.  I suggest that you read the nursery rhymes aloud with animation and joy. Talk about the pictures or anything else connected to the book, be bouncy and noisy with clapping so that baby will connect the words printed in front of him/her to rhythm and fun.  

When kids are a bit old older have them finish the rhymes and perhaps find letters in words that start with their name or yours.  Read aloud every day, mothers and fathers, because you love your language and your child.  You want to pass that love of learning on to them enabling them to become happy, lifelong readers.  I highly recommend this book.
