A Children's Treasury of Nursery Rhymes

I love this book. These are all the nursery rhymes my Dad sang to us at night. It even has the extended verses that most people dont know. I have a copy for my son and am buying one for my sisters new baby. It is everything I wanted in a nursery rhyme book.

This is a hardcover book with a velvet-like spine. The pages are thicker than normal and they are two pages attached back to back with pressed pages so that it creates raised illustrations. Since the pages are so thick, I'm sure that's why it is referred to as a "board book." Bleck's illustrations are some of the most creative, adorable illustrations I've seen in a long time. Even my older children and I enjoyed seeing how she portrayed each nursery rhyme and rubbing our fingers across the illustrations! In this book, you will find classic nursery rhymes like "Little Boy Blue," "Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling," "Humpty Dumpty," etc. It is absolutely beautiful! This would be a wonderful keepsake for your child and something they could even pass on to their own children. It would also make a great gift for another family. I highly recommend A Children's Treasury of Nursery Rhymes for any family with a child age seven and under. As a special note, I think families with special needs children would greatly enjoy the songs and raised illustrations where the children can FEEL the illustrations under their fingertips.

We have three books in this series and all have really nice illustrations and are fun to read. Each page is pressed so that parts of the pictures are raised so you can feel the pictures, too. The drawings involved lots of animals playing the parts in the nursery rhymes - my son loves it.
