Books in Hazel Q Nursery Rhymes series

Ever wondered what it would be like to go shopping in a kangaroo’s pouch? Or what those birds lined up on the wires are thinking as you walk underneath? Most of the traditional nursery rhymes come from Europe or the United States, but here’s a wonderful collection of original Australian rhymes and poems written by Mark Macleod and set to music by Peter Sullivan. Funny, silly and thoughtful, with an understanding of the different ways young people see the world – sometimes sung and sometimes spoken – these will become your children’s new favourites!

Generations of children have learnt from nursery rhymes how to count, tell the time, name different colours and shapes – all sorts of things. And because the words are easy to remember, they love to join in and teach you what they’ve learnt. Here’s a clever new collection with lots of surprises. Traditional songs such as ‘Hickory Dickory Dock’, ‘Jack and Jill’ and ‘Mary had a Little Lamb’, new versions, and some original rhymes chosen or written by popular children’s book presenter and writer Mark Macleod, all set to music by concert and TV favourite Peter Sullivan. The perfect audio collection for the whole family to enjoy!
