Familiar rhymes sit one to a spread in this oversized board book, each set against an illustration that gives a child something to look at while the words are sung or spoken.
Rhyme is how many children first notice the sounds inside words, and the collection leans on that by keeping the classic verses intact and pairing them with strong colour work. Repeated reading builds memory quickly, and most children begin joining in on the last word of a line long before they can read any of it. The board format suits the age group, and the size makes it easy to prop open while two people share it.
The reading experience:
• Well-known verses reproduced in full rather than shortened to fit
• An illustration for every rhyme to anchor the words to an image
• Repetition that supports memory and early sound awareness
• A large, hard-wearing format suited to daily use at home or nursery
For babies, toddlers and the adults who sing with them, and a reliable gift for a new family. Stocked by Boipoka.
