A Children's Treasury of Songs Board book – October 28, 2006

Children will love this book of songs!

Good collection of songs. Wish they had been listed in the description so here they are:Baa Baa Black SheepDo you know the muffin man?I've been working on the railroadPop goes the weaselLondon bridge is falling downRow row row your boatHere we go round the Mulberry BushItsy-bitsy spiderYankee DoodleIf you're happy and you know itRing around the RosiePat-a-cakeSkip to my LouShe'll be coming round the mountainThe bear went over the mountainMary had a little lambOld McDonaldThree blind miceJohn Jacob Jingleheimmer Schmidt

This book contains a great selection of familiar children' s songs, beautifully illustrated. My 18-month-old grandson was captivated by this book. He asked for me to sing the entire book to him every morning this summer. No matter how well you sing, your child will appreciate sitting in your lap and listening to these popular songs.

I sing to our daughter from this book each and every night- all well known songs but many with extra verses (ex Mary Had a Little Lamb with 5 verses); the illustrations are beautiful and, as we found out, embossed so she can feel the faces of each character in the book. Something she will treasure her entire childhood & probably use with her children some day!

This is a great treasury of classic children's songs with beautiful pictures. My daughter is 13 months old and constantly pulls this book out for my husband or myself to sing to her or to "read" herself. There is a good collection of lyrics (not printed music) to familiar American children's songs and I am thrilled to expose her to the music of my childhood. The illustrations are child-friendly, bright, and whimsical. I really like this book, BUT why is the sheep in Ba Ba Black Sheep white or gray? My daughter doesn't know her colors well yet, so I generally point to objects in books while reading to get to reinforce color concepts. When I sing Ba Ba Black Sheep to her, I am extremely hesitant to point to the non-black sheep. This is a minor qualm, but is important to note in a book meant for very young children.

My little one absolutely LOVES this book. I love that it even has some of the songs I sang as a child. She is learning all the words, and loves to grab it off the shelf to read/sing. I highly recommend if you have a child who loves books that include songs to be sung!

This is really a great book. The author/illustrator chose great songs, and the illustrations are perfect. I also bought the nursery rhythms book which is also great. I am picky about books, especially nursery rhythms. These books are great! my 15 month old loves them both, but the song book is her favorite. Every toddler should have a song book and nursery rhythm book in their book collection (can you tell i am a teacher!), and these fit the bill perfectly!

I bought this book because I now have a beautiful Grand Son. I was singing to him one day and realized that I've forgotten most all the lyrics to the nursery songs I grew up with. This book has them all. The illustrations are perfect, the text is easy to read. I can't wait to teach all these classics to my grandson.
