Wonderful book, May 31, 2007
By docmobley, Kennett, Missouri

"The nonsense rhymes here are mostly unfamiliar, as in not published in other anthologies so much. While they are great fun, it is the illustrations that make this book such a delight to read and share. I cannot believe that this wonderful book is out of print. If you have young children in your life, the book is worth whatever you have to pay for it."
