FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES

Japanese Nursery Rhymes: Carp Streamers, Falling Rain and Other Traditional Favorites

(4) PS Illustrated by Helen Acraman. Warm, flat art illustrates these fifteen songs--rhymes traditionally sung in games and modern songs written for singing in school. Little additional information is provided, and the English translations are awkward, especially on the audio CD. But language learners will appreciate the Japanese/romanized Japanese/English text, and the CD's guitar accompaniment is a welcome alternative to the numerous widely available Muzak-like versions of these songs.
