[Miss Pippi the Librarian]

A musical book in easy reader form. There are two verses in the book - one classic and one new. This book worked really well for our summer theme: A Universe of Stories. We sang Twinkle, Twinkle together. The second verse I read through once and then sang it. I invited anyone to sing along but did offer up that is was tricky because it's a new verse for them.

Reviewed from a library copy.

I love reading rhymes, I'm always looking for more rhymes for my playgroup. Will definitely keep an eye out for the rest of these books.
It's nice how it's written, the second rhyme has the same tune as the traditional first.
And the finger play is a much loved bonus!
