For generations, the songs and rhymes of American folk culture have delighted little ones and connected adult and child. These treasures were once passed on from parent or grandparent to child, but are now in danger of being lost and forgotten with changes in technology and family structure. This series helps to develop a young child's imagination and musical sensibilities, as well as create an intimate quiet time between parent and child.

The practice of amusing and distracting a baby by bouncing on the knee to songs and chants goes back centuries. This book contains the largest known collection of traditional bounces and over 150 songs and rhymes, such as "Pop Goes the Weasel," "To Market, To Market," and "This Is the Way the Ladies Ride."

"This rich collection of classic treasures that John Feieraband has gathered can easily nourish both children and their adults." -- Fred Rogers, creator and host, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood
