From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1—These 40 poems and songs offer children a taste of many different cultures. Most are anonymous or traditional nursery rhymes; a few are by English or American poets. The tone is light and joyous. Sweet illustrations of babies and toddlers engaged in playful activities depict the universality of children everywhere. Similar in style to Chorao's The Baby's Playtime Book (2006); The Baby's Book of Baby Animals (2004); The Baby's Lap Book (1990), and The Baby's Good Morning Book (1986, all Dutton), this is an appealing volume to share with preschoolers.—Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY

From Booklist
Veteran author-illustrator Chorao brings little ones poems and rhymes from around the world in this attractive offering. A poem from Poland tells of Lizzie, a “spinning top,” for whom the dancing never stops. A haiku-like poem from Korea describes a boy sweeping up peach blossoms. It ends, “Fallen flowers are flowers still; / Don’t brush them away.” That piece appears opposite a bit from The Tempest about blossoms on a bough. Many of the spreads fall under an umbrella idea, like rain (pun intended). Sometimes it’s the artwork that brings the concept together. For instance, “The Shadow Rabbit,” from Germany, shows a mother and child making shadow art; the kids on the facing page are doing the same, though their rhyme, “Ten Fingers,” is more general. Most of the text pieces are so short they can be used with very young children, who will be taken by the wordplay as well as the sunny pictures. Preschool-Grade 2. --Ilene Cooper

This review is from: Rhymes 'Round the World (Hardcover)
My son is two and he enjoys having these rhymes read to him and is enraptured by the pictures. The rhymes are short and sweet.
