Michael Foreman’s Nursery Rhymes

Posted by: blissfule In: Perth ()

Nursery rhymes are "the bottom-most layer of the comfortable hereditary clutter of mottoes, proverbs, and half-remembered tales that we use to ornament conversations throughout our lives, knowing that they are common currency." - Iona Oprie
 
Michael Foreman's Nursery Rhymes was a fabulous find on our latest trip to the library.
 
 
Nikki adores the funny sayings and memorable incidents recorded throughout. Michael enjoys the visual humor, for instance a rat shown walking from one relevant rhyme to another on the next page.
 
Nikki happily recites the rhymes for Michael, as in the video below.
 
 
She is also beginning to create scenarios of her own with the characters.
 
 
Fun-loving children + a book of silly rhymes = good times.

Oh, I enjoyed both these videos! Love Nikki’s original rhyme, and the one of Nikki and Michael is sweet, sweet, sweet.
