Brings back memories!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Miss Mary Mack and Other Children's Street Rhymes (Paperback)
This books certainly brings back memories of games played on the playground at recess. Although some of the words are different than I learned them, as expected for such widely used rhymes, I recognized quite a few. One disappointment was that there is no indication of the music to go with each rhyme. The authors did not provide an indication of the notes to sing or even that it sounds like a common song. Also, there are some lyrics that are inappropriate for young children and others that are very sexist or condescending. This book is not for everyone and I would certainly not hand it to a young reader without editing it or carefully supervising the language used by the children.

Things Have Changed a Bit,

This review is from: Miss Mary Mack and Other Children's Street Rhymes (Paperback)
I bought this book because I have so many memories of playing many of these games when I was a little girl, and I wanted to share that experience with my child. I was a little disappointed because many of the words are quite different from how I learned them. But it is probably unreasonable for me to expect anything different. If you can get past the fact that these games aren't 100 percent identical to how you played them as a child, you'll find this to be a really helpful guide.
