Ride a Cock-Horse

This is a really lovely collection of nursery rhymes, a delightful present for any young child and a 'must' for any reception class. Attractively illustrated and well set out with only one rhyme to each page, it is immediately appealing to children. The selection is particularly good - old favourites interspersed with some I've not met before.

My only criticism is the inclusion within the text of instructions to the adult which I found rather distracting. Although these were in themselves a very useful feature and did not appear to trouble my older infants. I feel that some of the early learning at home, chanting and following the text, might be jeopardised. It seems a shame they weren't placed at the bottom of the page below some sort of appropriate border or decoration.
