Because it’s two o'clock in the morning and you can’t remember “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”
Once upon a time, every parent knew Little Jack Horner, Wee Willie Winkie, and Little Miss Muffet. Now you will, too, with this crash course on timeless pleasures of Mother Goose and beyond. It features more than 70 poems, lullabies, rounds, and riddles, from classics like “Hey Diddle Diddle,” to newer songs like “The Wheels on the Bus,” too wonderful non-English versus including “Pío, Pío, Pío,” the sweet yet dramatic Chilean ditty about chickens. Plus, exactly how to perform the intricate finger ballet known as “Itsy Bitsy Spider.” Includes downloadable recordings.

      New parent Griffin resorted to advertising jingles to quiet her child and soon realized that others were also at a loss for nursery-rhyme specifics. Her remedy is this collection of more than 70 classics ("Old King Cole," "Pease Porridge Hot"), a few newer songs ("The Wheels on the Bus"), updated options (for vegetarians: "This little piggy had spinach"), and a few not in English ("De Colores," "Fr�re Jacques"). Griffin includes hand motions and occasional rhyme history and encourages parents to be silly and interact with their children. The link to an online audio file is extremely helpful and lots of fun. VERDICT An enlightening resource with an occasional modern twist (Is it time to drop "Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater" from the rotation?), wherever nursery rhymes are needed.
