My one-year old loves this book!
This book of simple rhymes and funny pictures can be read over and over. My one year old laughs out load, even though we've read the book hundreds of times.

Cute book, but the rhymes aren't as we remembered them
My daughter was given a few of these Opie and Wells books andthey fare about "average" in her collection. We (parents)would like them better if the verses weren't changed from what we remember.

My daughter was given a few of these Opie and Wells books andthey fare about "average" in her collection.We (parents)would like them better if the verses weren't changed from what we remember. For example, instead of "Hickory Dickory Dock," they use "Dickory dickory dock."

As best as we can determine, the original was published in 1744 as "Hickere, Dickere, Dock" in Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book II by Mary Cooper.
