PUBLIC DOMAIN MONDAY: LITTLE BO-PEEP

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,

And can’t tell where to find them;

Leave them alone, and they’ll come home,

And bring their tails behind them.

Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep,

And dreamt she heard them bleating;

But when she awoke, she found it a joke,

For they were still a-fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,

Determined for to find them;

She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,

For they’d left all their tails behind ’em.

A BOOK REVIEW I CAN'T RESIST SHARING, BY AN EXPERT ON THE SUBJECT!

One of my favorite picture book author/illustrators, Carol Baicker-McKee has written a wonderful and very informative review of an absolutely delightful children's book, A POCKETFUL OF POSIES, A TREASURY OF NURSERY RHYMES and its creative author/artist, Salley Mavor.  (I can't wait to get my hands on this book!)  You can read Carol's post HERE at Route 19 Writers.  You can also find her on her fun blog, Doodles and Noodles.

Carol said she loves giving nursery rhyme books as baby gifts, and I wholeheartedly agree!  One other title that I've recommended is: BABY DAYS: A QUILT OF RHYMES AND PICTURES, BY BELINDA DOWNES.  Either of these books fits in the new baby gift/shower gift category.  The new mother will love it as much as her child in the years to come!
