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.

Aileen: Simply beautiful - I have never heard this song before but it is so touchingly beautiful, all the more so at the image of Ben with two of his children
Poppa & Grammie: Happy Father's Day to you, Ben. So grateful that you are following your heavenly Father's leading in love with your children!
Jen: Happy Father's Day, Ben! The video is great and you are amazing for multi-tasking so well!

I believe that the more wisely we invest in the early years of our children's lives, the greater the benefits for us and them as they grow.

Look around, share your thoughts, and grow with us!
