    One of the charms of Mother Goose nursery rhymes is that they are very rhythmic and easy to memorize. Sing the rhymes to your children and they will quickly learn them by heart.  Remember, memorization is a key to reading.  Learning the familiar words to "Pat-a-cake, Pat-a-cake, Baker's Man" or "Humpty Dumpty" will fill your child with confidence as they point to a picture in one of these beautiful books and recite the words they have memorized.  The language of Mother Goose will make the language of Shakespeare sound familiar to a young person's ears as they venture into a life-long love of reading and literature.

  I recommend Of Thee I Sing ...

... a wonderful, whimsical, inspiring book by
President Barack Obama. He tells the stories of 13 famous americans in a poetic and engaging way that leaves the reader with a greater understanding of our shared history. Beautiful illustrations by Loren Long make Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters completely absorbing.
Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to a scholarship fund for the children of fallen and disabled US service personnel.

The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes by Iona and Peter Opie is the ultimate collection of nursery rhymes and their origins.
