It is good to talk to young children, but what can one say to a child who is too young to understand, or too upset to listen? What does one say to the child when there is nothing much to say? Nursery rhymes are an excellent way to chat with a young one.
Repetition and rhyme are soothing. They are more important than sense. In fact, many nursery rhymes make no sense at all.
And what exactly is pease porridge? Notes explain that and more.
Each rhyme is illustrated in the classic naive art style of Betsy Wolff Frey.
