PS
Brown has taken some of the rhymes from Finger Rhymes (1980) and subsequent books and re-illustrated them to create one appealing collection. Most of the rhymes and songs will be familiar; others will bring new pleasures. Brown's gouache and colored-pencil illustrations jump with joyful energy, with lots of jokes for children to spot amongst the many kids, dogs, and other animals that appear.
