Nursery
Rhymes and Mother Goose
Do
babies understand these rhymes? Do we know where they have come
from? These are the traditional rhymes that have intrigued and soothed
generations of babies and toddlers. They celebrate the sounds and
rhythm of language - small tales that can be chanted and sung at
all times of the day.

From early in the morning until night time, a family of children
play their way through familiar nursery rhymes. Debi has also
included a brief note on the background to some of these traditional
rhymes, although unfortunately she has repeated the assumption
that Ring-a-ring o'roses dates back to the Great Plague, when
in fact it has its origins far earlier than that.
