The Rooster Crows: A Book of American Rhymes and Jingles by Maud Petersham, Miska Petersham

3.0

This is a solid collection of Mother Goose rhymes and finger plays. Some of them are a bit harsh by today's standards* but it's a good volume to have for introducing children to some of the classics. I use this with my grade 2 students when we come to "rhymes" as part of our Traditional Literature unit.

*Trot trot to Boston/To buy a loaf of bread./Trot, trot home again/The old trot's dead.
(This is not as fun as the version I learned from my great-grandmother!)
