Nursery Rhymes

http://www.read.gov/books/images/mothergoose.jpg
Do you remember any of the nursery rhymes you might have learned when you were younger? I recently found an old book of Mother Goose nursery rhymes online. I had so much fun reading through this book. I loved the pictures - and being reminded of some of the nursery rhymes I had forgotten.

Take a look through the book and tell us which one you liked the best and why you chose it. My favorite is Hey Diddle Diddle because I think it would be crazy to see a cow jump over a moon!

Note to teachers - the book can be viewed online or downloaded as a pdf.

  37. My favorite nursery rhyme is Star Light Star Bright.I believe that if you wish on the first star you see it is magical. When we are driving around in the car I always wish on the first star I see in the sky. This rhyme is also good because it is short and easy to remember. This nursery rhyme is used in many movies.

  39. My favorite is not a memory from my childhood, but from my son and daughter's childhood. It would have to be Pat-A-Cake. I have vivid memories of saying that rhyme to my children and having them giggle and coo at me. Their eyes would light up and I would say that nursery rhyme over and over and over again. It's funny how a book published over 110 years ago can still capture a child's heart. I wonder if my mother played Pat-A-Cake with me. I will have to ask her. I will also ask my children if they remember me saying and playing with them. I have a feeling they were probably too young to have a recollection of those times.

  42. My favorite nursery rhyme would have to be Pat-A-Cake because, like, you don't have to be a little baby to like nursery rhymes. I'm not much into nursery rhymes because I'm nine but when it comes to this, when I have to tell what is my favorite nursery rhyme, it is Pat-A-Cake. It is, like, how you bake a cake and I love cakes and the tune is very catchy.

  43. I would have to say Bye Baby is my favorite nursery rhyme because it just makes me feel better than my normal mood rather than a really really bad mood. But I have one concern about the nursery rhyme it is, why is it about hunting and not about something else.

  49. My favorite nursery rhyme is Black Sheep, Black Sheep. I like that nursery rhyme because it reminds me of when I was in pre-school and my mom was the teacher. She would sing that to the class. I always remember my great days in preschool when I didn't have a full day. I wish my mom sometime substituted. I really like singing it because it makes me feel happy. I think it's funny how a black sheep sings it for some people about bags of black wool. That's my favorite nursery rhyme!
