Nursery Rhymes: Old and New

This week, I'm sharing picture books featuring nursery rhymes.  Here are a few of my favorites . . . .

The Completed Hickory Dickory Dock by Jim Aylesworth
Completes the classic nursery rhyme about the mouse that ran up the clock.

This Little Piggy by Tim Harrington
Expands on the traditional counting rhyme, revealing exciting things the second set of toes does which inspire the first set to try more "fun stuff" too.

Old Mikamba Had a Farm by Rachel Isadora
The inhabitants of Old Makimba's farm in Africa, including a baboon, an elephant, and a lion, are described, verse by verse.

My Mother Goose by David McPhail
An illustrated collection of nursery rhymes and songs, interspersed with concept pages on such themes as "going places" and "colors and shapes".
