This book is one of my favorites because of its very cute and richly colored pictures. The drawings are partially embossed so that if you run your fingers over the page, you will feel the outline of part of each person or animal. It includes 22 rhymes: Hey Diddle Diddle; Little Boy Blue; Little Bo Peep; Georgie Porgie; Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling; Jack and Jill; Little Miss Muffet; Hickory, Dickory, Dock; One, Two, Buckle My Shoe; Old King Cole; the Queen of Hearts; Sing a Song of Sixpence; Humpty Dumpty; Jack Sprat; Pease Porridge Hot; Jack, Be Nimble; Old Mother Hubbard; Little Jack Horner; This Little Piggy; There Was an Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe; Rub-a-dub-dub; Mary, Mary, Quite Contray. It's about 9"x9" with rounded corners and a the front and back cover are softly padded. This is definitely a well made children's book which justifies the relatively high price.
This is a hardcover book with a velvet-like spine. The pages are thicker than normal and they are two pages attached back to back with pressed pages so that it creates raised illustrations. Since the pages are so thick, I'm sure that's why it is referred to as a "board book."Bleck's illustrations are some of the most creative, adorable illustrations I've seen in a long time. Even my older children and I enjoyed seeing how she portrayed each nursery rhyme and rubbing our fingers across the illustrations!In this book, you will find classic nursery rhymes like "Little Boy Blue," "Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling," "Humpty Dumpty," etc.It is absolutely beautiful! This would be a wonderful keepsake for your child and something they could even pass on to their own children. It would also make a great gift for another family.I highly recommend A Children's Treasury of Nursery Rhymes for any family with a child age seven and under. As a special note, I think families with special needs children would greatly enjoy the songs and raised illustrations where the children can FEEL the illustrations under their fingertips.Sonya Haskins[...]
The book is great. The binding is suede and it arrived dirty, probably from sliding around in the box. The writing on the binding was also coming off. A great book done in by a bit of fancy trim that was not necessary. I got my money back.
The pictures are fantastic, however the rhymes themselves not so much. A few are the standard old ones which are fine. There are a couple that make no sense, the oddest being Three Men in a Tub. I googled it to see if that was really how it went, apparently there are about eight different versions a few that were more familiar so why they went with the version they did is baffling. I guess I didn't really know all verses to some rhymes because some are a bit depressing like the old lady that lived in a shoe. My toddlers aren't interested in this at all.
There is little question that American children are less familiar with classic literature than ever before. Nursery rhymes can be an important tool in passing on culture as well as language development. I bought this book yesterday, after going through several different nursery rhyme books, at Barnes & Noble (and paid more for it than on !) as a gift for my infant grandson. I went through each page and felt like the selection and the funny, cute illustrations really added to the charm. There are more exhaustive nursery rhyme books out there that may be appropriate for a child age 3 and up, but I felt this one was great for the very young.
Bought for my almost three year old son. He loves the colors, and the rhymes. One rhyme was odd, I think it was the 3 Men in a Tub one - wasn't the version I remember and I think some of the rhymes are a bit long for his age. Mostly like a board book version, but the pages have an open "cut" in the top and bottom so I'm fairly sure a rough boy is going to rip the pages apart and I will end up glueing them together. But overall, would definitely purchase again.
I found this at a great value on . It is a very sturdy book, great illustrations, and all the favorite nursery rhymes. After my toddlers get bored with other books, they seem to like to go back to this one and read some of the nursery rhymes.
We have three books in this series and all have really nice illustrations and are fun to read. Each page is pressed so that parts of the pictures are raised so you can feel the pictures, too. The drawings involved lots of animals playing the parts in the nursery rhymes - my son loves it.
