Three familiar nursery rhymes appear on each spread. The primary rhyme, in the center, boasts a large, complex pop-up, while the other two, in the corners, are accompanied by simpler pop-ups under separate flaps. The colorful illustrations are well engineered, opening smoothly without the need to pull or poke (still, given the age of the nursery rhyme audience, one wonders how long these pop-ups will last).
