My Review: I picked this book up on a whim at Barnes & Noble because it was on sale even though I had several collections of stories and rhymes already. I definitely don't regret it! In fact I think I am going to go back and get one for all of the kids I know turning one this year and to get the Treasury for the other years for Munchkin. This Treasury included so many of the favorite rhymes, songs, poems and stories. Did you know there is more to the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star song than 2 verses? I loved the selection of lullabies that are perfect for bedtime at the end, I only wish they had the melody printed in the book so I could sing them without having to look it up online.
This book is a collection of nursery rhymes for One year olds. It is illustrated by Michelle White and Gaby Hansen and it is designed by Jester Designs.
I bought this book from Barnes and Noble when my son was born in 2006. I saw they had additional ones for 2,3,4 and 5 year olds. This is the only one I have though. This is a collection of traditional nursery rhymes consisting of 68 of them. Some of them are : Hey Diddle Diddle, Pat-a-cake, Jack and Jill, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Three Bling Mice, Little Boy Blue, and Hush Little Baby to name a few.
There is an illustration for each nursery rhyme. They give a general picture of the rhyme in a glimpse. They are all done in the same fashion, meaning they all have the same drawing technique and usage of colors.
Of course I didn’t read this in one sitting, but rather over time. I am putting it as a review because I think it is a great read for bedtime and will introduce children to these popular nursery rhymes that are quickly fading out.
I really like the rhyme, poetry, and lullaby selections, and the illustrations are darling. There's a special section for nighttime, which makes this book even more useful and enjoyable. I plan to purchase the Treasury for Two Year Olds, Three Olds, etc., as my daughter grows.
