Summary:

     This book is a classic collection of rhymes and jingles.  There are some familiar ones such as How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?  Yet, there were several that are almost forgotten.  Bat, bat, come under my hat is an old rhyme that not very many people have heard. The selections are categorized under rhymes and jingles, finger games, rope skipping rhymes, counting-out rhymes, games and yankee doodle.

Illustrations:

     

     The illustrations are eye-catching.  They are all pencil drawings done in great detail.  They are all done in orange, green, and yellow shades to show that they are early Americana times.  Even the characters clothing portray the time period of the rhymes.
