A fun book with long loved rhymes, tongue twisters and little stories. A classic for the children's shelf.

My favorite book since I was a kid.

[Siskiyou-Suzy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I used to memorize these lines as a child. They're still charming, and I sort of say them over and over in my head sometimes like an earworm. It's not something I'd pick up as an adult, but I enjoy the book for nostalgia's sake.
