In 1, 2, Buckle My Shoe, Anna Grossnickle Hines takes the familiar nursery rhyme and turns it into something extremely beautiful with stunning attention to detail. The book is illustrated with quilt patches, and was honored by Capitol Choices who named it one of their "Noteworthy Books for Children". Textures, bright colors, and not too much text makes this a perfect book for your little one.
Children will love this book as they begin to recognize numbers. Each page contains only a number or a couple of words, which will allow the child to make connections between the sound and sight of the number or word. They will also react positively to hearing the favorite nursery rhyme and will likely start to recite it along with you.
Emily my niece loves to sing and dance to the same songs over and over again. She loves the repetition of nursery rhymes such as this and feels comforted by knowing the words. When we read this book we share a special bond through its sing-song sounds.
