Summary: Lavender's Blue
Comment: I first got this book at the library 15 years ago when my first child was a baby, and he and I loved it so much that I ordered a copy (ours is quite tattered.) It has lots of rhymes I grew up with and some less familiar to me. Cool pictures, and even some games to play with the rhymes. Now I'm ordering it for my little niece's first Christmas, a child whose mother's repertoire of nursery rhymes is sadly limited. I know she'll love it!

Summary: Not what I expected....
Comment: I was looking for some basic poems that my children and I could use to memorize some familiar old poems. This book was not what I expected. The poems are of an older style. While some poems are familiar like "Georgie Porgie puddin' pie" but others like "Here are my ladys forks and knives" was totally unfamiliar to me. I did enjoy the thick pages and illustrations, but wish I would have gone for Poems Old and New.

Summary: Classic Nursery Rhymnes
Comment: This is the classic of all classic nursery rhyme books. It contains all the rhymes you expect, plus a great many you have forgotten and some finger and hand games. The rhymes are one per page with an extremely pleasing color illustration that takes up the whole page devoted to that one rhyme. This is the book my mother read to me in the 60s, and I read it to my daughter in the 90s. It is not free of excessive violence (some nursery rhymes are violent), nor is it gender-neutral in any way. (Again, that is not a feature of traditional nursery rhymes.) I heartily recommend it anyway.
