Personal Review: The Rooster Crows : A Book of American
Rhymes and Jingles by Miska Petersham
This collection takes me back to my childhood before color TV, special
effects, or the Internet where reading a book meant time with my mother,
and time to slowly pour over the pictures and imagine the world that was
being depicted. As a child,I went back to re-explore these pages many
times. With a new grandson due in a few months, I knew that this would
be perfect material for times spent together. Our children now days are so
sophisticated that most don't even know the old Nursery Rhymes. As a

parent and a teacher, I find this a sad loss to our culture. This book will
help keep nursery rhymes and Mother Goose alive in our family.
