This is a really nice collection of unusual nursery rhymes. Many include music and suggestions for different types of motions. I'm going to use some of these in my Toddler Times next fall!

This book is a great resource for grown-ups not familiar with many of these songs, rhymes and games. The instructions for each are clear and the short histories given are very interesting additions.
