5.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Foundation For Your Young Learners
As a long-time fan of Richard Scarry’s works it’s difficult for me to leave an unbiased review. I grew up on his books. Even in my Pre-K years I was so enthralled by the stories and the art that I would sit for hours poring through the books, and as a result I could read well before first grade. So it’s no surprise that when introduced to phonics, and the massive lexicon that phonics opens up, I was already sold and ready to go.But that’s kind of the point, isn’t it?Nursery rhymes are fun. They are our history. They are life. They deliver lessons and insight to the very young, the very old, and everyone in between. Yet they are so much more for early readers. They introduce children to the syntax of the world; of language, learning, and of life.This book is well executed. The art is simple. It’s colorful, engaging fun that adds jocularity to the tales found in more serious rhymes, and depth to the silliest of these rhymes.This book is comprehensive. There are many, many nursery rhymes in this book. The usual suspects are present, and many more that you’ve probably never heard of. They’re here.I can’t recommend this book enough, and I recommend purchasing it alongside Aesop’s Fables. Both of which should be read aloud slowly and with great expression.If I have one complaint it’s that the pages are paper instead of plastic. In my wildest fantastic and perfect world Richard Scarry’s books would be printed on an indestructible page that our youngest can pull at and chew on when the bigger kids abandon their books for the rocks and trees outside. Alas, paper is what we get, so I recommend keeping this book inside on rainy days, and perhaps out of reach of the inquisitive toddler. Or else you may end up purchasing it more than once.
5.0 out of 5 stars The largest selection of nursery rhymes
Ill be honest and say that when we first received this book (decades ago) I was not a fan of the illustrations, but my children loved this book. And when I need a baby book, old nursery rhymes automatically comes to mind. I've seen more beautifully illustrated books, but I've never found a book that had as large & beautiful selection of nursery rhymes.
5.0 out of 5 stars Humpty Dumpty: A Cautionary Tale for Eggs Everywhere
The media could not be loaded. This classic collection of Mother Goose rhymes is a must-have for any parent looking to entertain their child while simultaneously instilling a healthy fear of heights and a deep-seated respect for eggs. From the tragic tale of Humpty Dumpty to the slightly unsettling image of a cow jumping over the moon, this book is packed with absurd characters and even more absurd situations.Richard Scarry's iconic illustrations add a delightful touch of whimsy to these timeless tales. His colorful, cartoonish style brings the characters to life and makes the rhymes even more memorable. From the mischievous antics of the Busytown animals to the serene landscapes of the countryside, Scarry's art perfectly complements the playful and imaginative nature of these nursery rhymes. My 7.5 year old stays just as captivated as my 2 year old. It's a large book which is nice with 5 littles so they all can see. Would be a great Christmas present! My hand for size comparison.
5.0 out of 5 stars Precious and timeless
We received this gift 30 years ago when one of my children was born. It was the centerpiece of our bedtime for years and provided so much joy and laughter for our family. I just bought this copy for my daughter who just had her first child.
5.0 out of 5 stars Toddler book
My Grandson loves the book (and his parents do too). I love all Richard Scarry books. Highly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars Back To Memory Lane
I vividly remember my mother reading this book to me when I was a kid. It's strange because even though some of the rhymes are...how to describe..."strange" ("I'll grind his bones to make my bread"), I have wonderful, warm, loving memories from this book. I now have two daughters and I've purchased one of these books for each of them. For Xmas 2012, I purchased one for my brother's kids. It's very special to me to be able to share this book with the kids in my family, and I see this as a great hand-me-down for other families, too. The pictures are colorful and captivating, there are many rhymes that you can easily jump around to since it is not a story book, the rhymes are catchy and fun, and the rhymes at the end are goodnight/ending rhymes. There is something about these rhymes and the pictures that really appeals to the senses of children.
4.0 out of 5 stars Classics
Cute, funny, crude, classic! Illustrations bring these old tired stories to life. So cute. Love it all! Easy to memorize and fun to say.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Richard Scarry Book
Children will enjoy hearing/ reading the nursery rhymes especially with the colorful, cute illustrations.Richard Scarry always knows how to please children.
娘はマザーグースが大好きです！
0歳から英語に慣れてれば・・・と思い自分の好みでリチャードスキャリーのマザーグースのビデオを毎日見せていました。（歌が多いので馴染みやすいかなと思って）。2歳になった今では見ない日はないぐらい！自分でビデオをセットして見ています。それでこの本を購入しました。同じ絵ではない（ビデオではライオンの王様が本ではカバだったり・・）のが少し残念ですが、それでもビデオを見ながらこの本を出してきて同じ歌のページをとても喜んで本を指差して見ています。私もビデオだけでは何を言っているか解らなかった英語の歌詞がわかりました。ちょっと高いなと思って購入しましたが、よかったと思っています。
An essential book for babies & toddlers
Both my kids adore this book! I had it as a baby so I was glad to share it with them. We’ve read it so much over the years we’ve gone through several copies (book ripping stage, taped back together, and still used until it was falling apart). The rhymes are so much fun and the cadence is so comforting to little ones. The pictures are a lot of fun too, although not my favourite style of drawing. I accidentally ordered two copies, but I’m keeping the second since we may end up needing it anyway. I highly recommend a copy for babies/toddlers.
A 'must have'
Every child should have this book of Nursery Rhymes. My children loved it, and my grandchild, and now I buy it for every new baby in the family. Fantastic illustrations which children and adults love.
Five Stars
Lovely book for young children to have read to them
Classic
So glad I found it! I read it to my own children and now have it for my grandchildren
