traditional nursery rhymes
I'm curious how people incorporate traditional nursery rhymes when they are planning story times with young children. As we discuss folk tales, I have been thinking of nursery rhymes as part of our cultural heritage. In many ways, these seem to be a form of folktales for the very young.
I enjoyed reading Alma Flor Ada's Pio Peep! (my review) and have just started looking at her newest collection Muu, Moo! I enjoy her presentatio n of nursery rhymes from Latin America, and the English adaptations. Has an yone had success using these at storytimes for preschoolers or kindergartne rs?
Are there other collections of nursery rhymes that people enjoy?
