Customer Review: The Peter Patter Book

As a child I loved this book of nonsensical rhymes. I was so happy that I remembered the title and that Amazon was able to find a brand new copy of this book which was written in 1918.
The illustrations are so captivating, from another era. I am now in my mid-60's and can still remember several of the rhymes. I wanted to have this for my grandson. Now that I have received it and have gone through it page by page, I am going to order it for my friends' grandchildren. It is thoroughly charming.

Product Description

"PETER PATTER told them to me, All the little rimes, Whispered them among the bushes Half a hundred times. Peter lives upon a mountain Pretty near the sun, Knows the bears and birds and rabbits Nearly every one; Has a home among the alders, Bed of cedar bark, Walks alone beneath the pine trees Even when it's dark. "

Customer Review: Loved this book!

When my kids were little, this was the most requested book for bed-time reading. They had many of the poems memorized.
