Nursery Rhymes, whether spoken or paired with tunes, are indeed musical and rhythmic. They also tend to be short and, thus, easily repeated. And, of course, they lend themselves naturally to accompaniment with various playful games.

In 'Hickory, Dickory, Tickle and Bounce', you will enjoy exposing your little one to the sounds of language with modelling and encouraging expressive use of the voice with verses such as 'Baa Baa Black Sheep', 'Cackle, Cackle', 'The Duke of York', and 'Dickery Dickery Dare'.

'Hickory, Dickory, Tickle and Bounce', draws on several traditions and includes English rhymes and songs, a lullaby each from Sweden and Italy, the Mexican favourite 'La Cucaracha' and both a nursery song and a dance medley from China.

There are baby games, fingers and toes will wiggle and you'll play peek-a-boo as you sing a song by the same name. Chime balls, scarves and humongous scarves come into play, as well as assorted instruments and an everyday instrument object - the plastic cup! Even learn some simple sign language!

Share the gift of language, song, play and movement with your baby in this world of Mother Goose with 'Hickory, Dickory, Tickle and Bounce'.
