Some old favorites - "The Eensy, Weensy Spider," and some less familiar rhymes - "There Was a Little Turtle," are all dressed up in double-page illustrations with easy-to-follow diagrams for telling the stories with finger gestures. Counting rhymes, tickling rhymes, and rhymes to laugh with - these have charmed generations of small children, parents, teachers, and librarians. Here they are, to be shared in a lap with one child or in a group with many children, in a stunningly designed book by a popular young artist. Contents: There Was a Little Turtle—Grandma's Spectacles—Five Little Pigs—Where Is Thumbkin? — Fish Story—The Baby Mice—Five Little Mice—Two Blackbirds—Whoops! Johnny—Clap Your Hands—The Squirrel—Ten Little Candles—The Eensy, Weensy Spider—Sleepy Fingers
