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

2.0

The subtitle is: A Book of American Rhymes and Jingles. And that’s what it is, a collection of rhymes and jingles. Most were familiar to me from my childhood. There really is no story arc, though there is some effort to group them by categories, e.g. jokes/riddles. I’m not sure I would have sat still to have this read to me even as a young child.

The illustrations are wonderful, however. Very detailed and clearly support the rhymes and jingles. So 2 stars for that.
