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

4.0

A book filled with old rhymes and exquisite artwork! The Rooster Crows is filled with fun rhymes and games, both forgotten and remembered, with illustrations to match. While some illustrations are modest in their palette (sticking to blues and tans), some full page illustrations make use of what seems to be every color imaginable. The Petershams certainly knew how to keep kids entertained—I could sing the rhymes and look at the pictures all day! Overall, this is a humble book that is perfect for weekends and summer vacations. Great for grades 1-5.
