Sharon, Lois & Bram's Mother Goose: Songs, Finger Rhymes, Tickling Verses, Games, and More

Many old favorites can be found in this book by a group best known for its recordings of children's songs. Readers will find expanded versions of songs and poems (all the verses to ""London Bridge,'' for example), as well as lesser-known rhymes. Simple accompaniments are included where appropriate; these can be plunked out on the piano or strummed on the guitar. Kovalski's comic characters, splashed in watercolor across each page, will help young readers master the dances and finger games. This collection, at once warmly familiar and refreshingly new, could inspire parents and children to spend some time singing with each other. (All ages)
