Yolen, Jane, ill. Will Hillenbrand. This Little Piggy: Lap Songs, Finger Plays, Clapping Games and Pantomine Rhymes. 2006. Candlewick Press: Cambridge, Mass.
An endearing, annotated collection of over 60 children’s songs, rhymes, lap songs, and clapping games for babies and toddlers. Each poem is completely shareable, with directions for play in smaller print. Included are both classic favorites such as “I’m a Little Teapot”, and some less familiar rhymes, all expertly selected and edited by Yolen, and delightfully entertaining. The package is completed with Hillenbrand’s lively, pastel-colored, happy pig illustrations that frame each of the selections. This charming book’s broad scope and aesthetic appeal make it an excellent choice for the young and young-at-heart. Mandy Hooker (Written as an assignment for TWU SLIS)
