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

3.0

A fun collection of traditional American rhymes and jingles, beautifully illustrated in the soft tones and style of the day (1940s). Some of these were familiar to me from my childhood but most were, understandably, foreign in their Americanness. It made me marvel at how we seemingly absorb playground rhymes by osmosis; I don't remember anyone ever reading them to me and yet I started school prepared to play.
