The old and almost forgotten children's rhymes hold a treasure that the author brings to light. This book, with its 110 pages, replaces an entire bookshelf. Amazed and surprised by the depth of the author's experience, I want to recommend this book to all adults who wonder how they can support their children in a beneficial way. The answer this book provides is: Feed them sounds, words, and verses in a delightful way! And recognize that learning to speak means perceiving the world with all senses. Timo Brunke and Heide Mende-Kurz have drawn from their decades of experience and love for language to write a book that saves these children's rhymes by capturing their linguistic life and illustrating the movements of sounds in the movements of the child, such as when playing. A book that speaks to mothers and fathers.
