Twelve Enchanting Nursery Rhymes: A Young Boy's Everyday Life Every kid is full of imagination. Whether it’s having fun with family, playing with their best friends, or inventing new stories for their toys and animals, life for a child is one big adventure! In Twelve Enchanting Nursery Rhymes, this adventure is showcased through playful poetry. Each nursery rhyme is sung to a young boy, at bedtime. As the boy listens to the stories, he uses his imagination—and the toys in the room around him—to expand on what he’s hearing. Each poem stands alone as is its own story, or can be read as a single poem with a flowing story. Some of the poems are silly, some are exciting, and all are sweet. They are perfect for bedtime, especially for babies and toddlers. The fun rhymes and quirky stories make this book a favourite for little ones.

With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark -- and follow where it takes us. Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can't draw - she's no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds's delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.
