Among these twenty hand rhymes are a few familiar ones, such as "Pat-a-Cake" and "Peas Porridge." A small box beside each line of text contains an illustration of a simple action (hand-clapping, bouncing, etc.). Filled with animals and children at play, Chorao's sweet watercolors sometimes contain more detail than a youngster's eye can handle, but the action images from each rhyme are charming.
