Pocketful of Posies

by Sally Mavor(2010)(Children's New Books J398.8 POC)for ages infant to preschoolAlthough it is full of classic rhymes, beginning with morning rhymes and ending with bedtime rhymes; this is no ordinary nursery rhyme book!

You could spend a lot of time just enjoying the details on each page.Included in the back is an index of first lines for the rhymes therein. It's a lovely book that could be enjoyed...

New Non Fiction Review: Kakapo Rescue
