5.0 out of 5 stars Very cute book

R.A. · 4 June 2025

This is a beautiful book with some excellent rhymes (and some utterly garbage ones too), I feel sorry for my baby as there are a whole bunch I cant figure the rhythm out for, I didn’t think I knew any but as you get reading it does jog the memory

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book!

G. · 1 April 2023

Purchased this as a new mum so I can read it each day to my baby son, as the name suggests there is one rhyme for each day, and I am on probably our fifth day now and have enjoyed each one so far. Some of the rhymes are short whilst others are a full page or 2 and there is a mix of classic ‘old school’ nursery rhymes and some new ones. Each rhyme also has a small bit of info on context such as the meaning of the poem or some background which I found interesting. This book is definitely not ‘babyish’ and will use for many years to come with my son. The book itself is great quality with a hardback cover and ribbon bookmark so you can keep track of where you are at. I would recommend for any new parent to buy for themselves and their child or as a gift to get for parents to be!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous cover & illustrations
