Marc Brown's Playtime Rhymes: A Treasury for Families to Learn and Play Together

by Marc Brown

Fingers ready?

Fingers set?

Fingers play!

It's time for Playtime Rhymes-a treasury of twenty favorite finger rhymes compiled and illustrated by the bestselling and beloved artist Marc Brown for the enjoyment of young and old.
From the clever Whoops! Johnny and funny Do Your Ears Hang Low? to the irrepressible Itsy-Bitsy Spider and rousing Wheels on the Bus, these are rhymes to say and sing aloud, each with pictorial instructions for the correlating finger movements.

An interactive experience at its very best, Playtime Rhymes will get little hands wiggling, jiggling, pointing, pounding, bending, stretching, and dancing as children animate the rhymes, pore over the vibrant pictures, and share the fun with family and friends.

Beautiful illustrations. This is absolutely lovely. Full of nursery rhymes with finger plays, some of which I am familiar with and others are new. I know of Marc Brown because of Arnold, but I love him as a picture book illustrator from [b:Ten Tiny Toes|13526147|Ten Tiny Toes|Todd Tarpley|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1355045640s/13526147.jpg|19086854]. This treasury is perfect. Perfect to read all at once and perfect to use little by little in learning and sharing memories with your preschooler or tot. I definitely think it would be an awesome addition to any preschool curriculum.

Thanks to LB KIDS.
