The Rooster Crows: A Book of American Rhymes and Jingles by Maud Petersham, Miska Petersham
4.0
Charming pictures. I had forgotten a few of these old rhymes, and had heard different versions of others. The book reminds me of the time my child came home from school saying, "I met a man named Michael Finnigan. He grew whiskers on his chinnigan."
I said, "Along came the wind and blew them innagin."
She looked at me, astonished, and said, "You know it?!"
So the old American jingles make their rounds. Their tails come loose and we fall back. Which is what we get, we who love to ride tales instead of backs.
