Rhymes and Rhythms for Young Ears

There is perhaps no greater joy for a parent than watching a really young child’s eyes glaze over in bewilderment at the rat-a-tat rhythms of a great book showcasing the fun that can he had with words. “Pittery-pattery-skittery-scattery, zip round the corner came Zachary Quack”. “If you like to go bump bump, just jump on the hump of the wump of Gump”. A world where a grown-up might repeatedly utter phrases like these is a world of endless possibility and fun for any child first connecting with language.
