Round and Round the Garden

We are delighted to be reissuing this lovely book with new cover artwork from Ian Beck. It's a collection to relish of over thirty traditional play rhymes, including such favourites as 'Incy Wincy Spider', 'This Little Pig', and 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat', all imaginatively illustrated by Ian Beck. Each rhyme also has clear, step-by-step line drawings to follow for the actions. The rhymes have been set to music on the accompanying CD, neatly packaged within the back cover flap. The musical arrangements are either based on traditional melodies or have been specially composed. This is the perfect package to introduce young children to the sheer enjoyment of joining in with action rhymes - great for playtime and bedtime. Sarah Williams and Ian Beck show themselves aware of the place which play rhymes hold in the nursery education world...welcome for the playgroup table or bedroom shelf.
