Not sure how to feel about Three Blind Mice or Hush Little Baby. Is it obvious to kids that the woman who cuts off mice tails is bad?
Also, the materialism / buying things so baby will stop crying idk about.

Classic nursery songs paired with dePaola's illustrations.

Some classic songs set to pictures by a classic illustrator. It is short and sweet but really fun to sing. I'm starting to appreciate music, so this is a good book to start that musical journey! It's funny hearing regional variations on the songs, too.

Easy and simple sentences for young kids to memories. I like the illustrations so much. It is simple, colorful and attractive. The idea of this boos is great especially that young kids like to sing or they like o listen to someone sings.

I'm not sure how much I like this author, I don't really pay attention to his books.
