School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 3-This collection of 21 verses from around the world includes selections for singing, reciting, or jump roping. Some are well-known Mother Goose rhymes; most have appeared in other collections. The organization seems a bit random and, while the countries of origin appear on the table of contents, they are not included with the individual rhymes. Also missing are directions for the actions and games. Bright, primitive pastel illustrations on colored pages accompany each selection. A strictly additional purchase.-Sally R.
