Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-5-These 32 original rhymes are infused with fresh, colorful imagery and toe-tapping rhythm. Appropriate for reading or chanting aloud while jumping rope, each one has a lighthearted, whimsical quality. The vibrantly colored illustrations are equally playful. Smaller vignettes alternate with single and double-page paintings, and the style of each picture perfectly captures the tone of the accompanying poem. Tiny sketches of a girl jumping rope appear on the bottom right-hand corners of the pages, giving the semblance of motion when they are flipped. This pleasing book makes a fine supplement to Jane Yolen's Street Rhymes around the World (Wordsong, 2003) and Joanna Cole's Anna Banana: 101 Jump-Rope Rhymes (HarperTrophy, 1989).-Sally R.

From Booklist
PreS-Gr. 2. Rhyme and thumping rhythm are the attraction in these 32 lively verses, whether kids chant the words as they jump rope or share them with adults in a cozy armchair. As with nursery rhymes, the appeal is the sound rather than the meaning of the words, and the beat of the short lines makes the verses easy to remember. There's even some play with folklore ("Jillian, Jillian / Where will you go? / To Denmark, / To Sweden, / to pick out a beau. / Jillian, Jillian, / What will you wear?"). Hall's clear, colorful illustrations, which use a variety of media--pastel, collage, watercolor--keep the scenarios open, whether realistic or magical. Like Dotlich's In the Spin of Things (2003), this collection makes words a part of play. Hazel Rochman
