Reach for this book when your child is in a silly, wiggly mood and needs the comforting cadence of rhyme but has grown tired of the same old standard nursery tales. This collection serves as a delightful 'lost and found' of English folklore, introducing characters and nonsense verses that fell out of the mainstream canon over the last century. It is a wonderful tool for expanding a child's linguistic ear and curiosity about the past. While the verses are centuries old, the emotional core is one of wonder, playfulness, and the joy of language. From the absurd antics of Bryan O'Lin to the rhythmic labor of Farmer Giles, these poems provide a bridge between modern sensibilities and historical imagination. It is perfect for children aged 3 to 8 who enjoy wordplay and the slightly eccentric side of storytelling.
