DESCRIPTION:
"What a waste!" according to P.Detemple. Not only is the accompanying tape only about 10 min in total length, but there are only about 10 rhymes in the whole book!I bought this for my nephew as a 'starter nursery rhyme' book. My SIL likes to sing, &thought this would be good for all. After receiving,they were strangely silent about it. When I finally visited last wk, I was horrified to see how badly I'd been ripped off. I couldn't apologize enough.#1 - each little verse is sung only once.#2 - as mentioned, the tape looks like a joke. If it plays 5 whole min before i. "Needs to be made available with a compact disc" according to Kevin B.. Unlike a previous scathing review I think this book with music is perfect for the age of the child for which it is intended. Little minds have a limited attention span. I have purchased numerous copies for friends and relatives who have or are having children and it goes over big everytime. The only thing preventing me from granting this book 5 stars is that it is only avaliable with a cassette! How antiquated for being released in 2000. This book in in desperate need of being updated with a CD, other than that, it is perfect. This book is a treasure for children and adults alike! Carly Simon has done a wonderful job with this book of classic Mother Goose rhymes. The book is very colorful, which helped keep my niece's attention, and the illustations will be loved by the kids. Carly's tape of the ryhmes is pefect for children to listen too, and quite nice for Carly's "older" fans as well. This is a must for every child's collection!
Enchantingly illustrated by Steven Haskamp and performed by Carly Simon to her own music composed especially for the accompanying audiocassette, the nursery rhymes in this collection are bound to twist the tongue and tickle the ears of children and parents alike.. The whimsical wordplay of Mother Goose rhymes has been a source of delight to children around the world for generations
The tunes are lovely, if faintly dark. Each one has a different style, as interpreted by Simon and her accompanist Teese Gohl. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter. This big, sturdy board book boasts 15 favorites, whimsically and colorfully illustrated by Steven Haskamp to capture the magic of the cow jumping over the moon and the mouse running up the clock. Embedded in the cover of the book is an audiocassette with a musical adaptation of each rhyme composed and performed by popular singer-songwriter Carly Simon. From "Humpty Dumpty" to "Old Mother Hubbard" to "Hey Diddle, Diddle," Mother Goose rhymes have tickled our fancy, generation after generation. Loosely grouped in clusters (there's a page with nighttime rhymes, and another with sheep poems), the verses are printed in a fun, fancy typeface, which nevertheless may be slightly difficult for younger readers to decipher. Simon's deep, resonating voice
