Toddler-K-This extensive collection of nursery rhymes and poems is a visual delight, beautifully illustrated in a bold -palette that will engage toddlers and older children alike. Each spread connects -images to words seamlessly, allowing for better comprehension with younger readers. This collection is a treasure trove of traditional nursery rhymes, both well-known and more obscure. Occasional movement and action instructions add additional depth to the work, offering adults more opportunity to engage with young children and grow literacy skills. An index provides an additional layer of usefulness and makes inclusion into story time or classroom -activities easy for educators. This title is a nice way to incorporate poetry into the school week with short and manageable works.
VERDICT A well-illustrated -collection of nursery rhymes that would make an excellent addition to a library or classroom.
