I loved nursery rhymes when I was a kid, and with the changing curriculums in schools, nursery rhymes are being taken out. This is a great book that has every nursery rhyme included.

The illustrations are sometimes scary and some of the nursery rhymes selected are scary too. I sent it back.

I purchased this book for my own children a few years ago and have treasured reading it with them as babies and toddlers. I loved it so much I wanted to share it with a friend who just had her own first baby. It's got classic nursery rhymes and lovely, fun, soothing illustrations. It's a lifetime keeper!
