this book was one of my favourites that I used to sign out often at the library. Would love to get my hands on a copy for myself!

I vividly recalled my dad chanting "Chicken in the car..." & was curious to see if there were others of a similar nature, there are!
Added bonus all those rhymes we jumped rope to. Pure nostalgia.

One of my favorite books to read. My siblings and I would read through this repeatedly with glee. I wonder where our copy went?
