Little, Brown Fall Kids’ Books Preview Peek

By Rocco Staino

A great family book coming up in the fall is Marc Brown’s Playtime Rhymes: A Treasury for Families to Learn and Play Together, in which he combines all his finger rhymes into a single volume. It is a great refresher on the accompanying hand motions to such childhood favorite read-aloud poems and songs as “The Itsy Bitsy Spider,” “Two Little Monkeys,” and “Whoops Johnny.”
