A book of action songs and games complete with music and illustrations demonstrating how the games are played, as well as a full-page interpretation of each rhyme to share with the children. An invaluable book for nursery and infant teachers as well as parents and organisers of children's parties: it includes traditional songs such as the title one and 'The Farmer's in his Den' as well as more modern favourites like 'The Wheels on the Bus' and 'Five Little Speckled Frogs'. With the constant use this book is likely to get though, the hardback edition may prove better value in the long run.
