The hand symbols are generally done well, and the rhymes include familiar and (to me) some not-so-familiar. I was disappointed, however, that every single one of the pronouns in the rhymes were masculine. Read and recited literally, these rhymes render invisible female animals and people. A new edition that was a bit conscious of this would be appreciated. ( )

“Hand Rhymes” is a collection of fourteen nursery rhymes with accompanying finger plays, each designed for little hands to execute. These preschool nursery rhymes, many of which will be familiar, provide youngsters with an opportunity to explore poetry and rhyme as they enjoy a shared experience with their parents. Charming illustrations accompany each rhyme, creating a delightful book parents and children will want to experience again and again.

Highly recommended. ( )

This book has a great collection of unique rhymes and hand gestures to go with them for you to enrich the learning.

Marc Brown takes his reader on an adventure of hand movements that go along with wonderful rhymes! It's fun for any reader, any age! Very interactive & fun. ( )
