Description
A keepsake volume of tried-and-true lullabies and rhymes to share with your baby, illustrated with images of enchanting hand-embroidered art on cloth .
Science tells us that babies develop best and connect with people and the world around them when they are spoken to, sung to and read to. Even when they're tiny, the sound of their parents' voices helps them make sense of the world and feel comfortable with new people and places.
This treasury gives parents the opportunity to rediscover just how useful (and calming) 30 of the best-loved lullabies and nursery rhymes are in one, beautiful volume. Stunningly embroidered illustrations for each rhyme offer little ones a visual delight and will make this book a keepsake to treasure.
Sooth little ones with the gentle lullabies and rhymes including Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, Oranges and Lemons, The Grand Old Duke of York and many more beloved poems and songs.
Stitched Storytime presents beautiful embroidered collections of nursery rhymes and folktales which young children will love. Also available are Read to Your Baby Every Day and Read to Your Toddler Every Day.
