I threw my arms up when we read Twinkle twinkle little star, so that’s how my dad knew it was my favorite.
I was also glad to see my cat friend Boethius in Hey Diddle Diddle when the cow jumped over the moon. I wonder if Bo can jump that high?

I love Priddy Books, I haven't found a one that I didn't like. This board book features all the classic nursery rhymes including Little Bo Peep, Hickory Dickory Dock, Jack & Jill, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Little Miss Muffet, Hey Diddle Diddle, Humpty Dumpty, and Teddy Bears' Picnic. Most of the rhymes are on one page but there are two that need two pages. I like the illustrations that accompanied the rhymes. They’re cartoonish, they look typical of how that rhyme is portrayed. Each of these rhymes feature only the first verse. Using a nice black font, it begins this verse on the page and then, the reader needs to lift-the-flap to finish it.
The illustrations feature the rhyme's character and the background is filled with colorful images to fill in the role it’s portraying. Humpty has a castle, trees, and some grassy hills behind him. The mouse is not alone in Hickory, Dickory, Dock as there's quite a few other mice in this house. Some of them are roasting marshmallows and some are waiting on their friend who just ran up the clock, it’s quite a cozy scene.
If you're familiar with Priddy Books, you know that these books are heavy-duty. This being a Lift-the-Flap book, you’ll find a small cut-out for a finger to pull the tab down on each page. The flap on each page is well-constructed and it won't rip or tear-off quickly like other books. I like the smooth finish on the book (pages and cover), as this definitely helps with gently wiping the book off. Another winner of a book! 5 stars

Bright and colorful artwork perfectly complements classic nursery rhymes that have each ending verse behind a lift-the-flap. A great book for a baby shower gift or to add to your young child's library.

Leaves you on a bit of a cliffhanger. What ever happened to the Dish and the Spoon. Did they make it? Willow xx (20 months)
