Counting Rhymes  (English, Hardcover, McKellar Shona)

Number poems and counting rhymes have been used to teach children counting for generations. Parents today recall them from childhood, and pass them along exactly as their parents before. This collection builds on an old tradition. It mixes familiar old rhymes with modern verses by well-known poets. Some help children to grasp adding and subtracting. Others just have fun doing silly things with numbers. All strengthen children's grasp of counting. And, of course, they introduce children to the joy of poetry. There are 25 counting poems for children to learn and enjoy in this illustrated book.
