Mies van Hout's inimitable way with animals is on vibrant display in this collection of favorite nursery rhymes and songs for young children. From the demure kitty of the title to frogs, horses, sheep, mice, and more, this is sure to be a favorite from story time to bedtime. The accompanying CD features a warm maternal voice and gentle guitar to send little ones to dreamland.

Mies van Hout (1962) studied at the Arts Academy in Groningen, where she majored in graphic design. She has been working as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer since 1989. Over the years, she illustrated quite a lot of children's books. Her illustrations are cheerful and witty, painted skillfully and distinctly. Her books with Lemniscaat include Happy, Friends, and Surprise--all earned starred reviews.
PreS—In this fun, bold picture book, readers will find contemporary and classic rhymes accompanied by brightly colored illustrations with simple shapes and a lot of white space. These pictures dance across both pages while the words are lyrically positioned around them. On some pages, parents and teachers will be able to teach concepts like shapes and colors: on other pages, the lesson will be counting. "Five/little ducks/went out one day,Over the hill and far away. Mother duck said/Quack, quack, quack, quack,/But only four little ducks/came back." The itsy bitsy spider rhyme contrasts nicely to the very fat elephant song. Preschoolers will enjoy joining in with the verses and it will be easy for them, parents, and teachers because of the accompanying CD. VERDICT Fans of Eric Carle and Bill Martin will love this charming title.—Gwen Collier, Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, NY
