A little girl is imagining she's all kinds of different animals with a blanket. She wonders would they live a lion? She pretends to be a lion and they do love the lion.

This book is full of nursery rhymes that can be used for many different age levels. I would use this book for different lessons. One lesson would be a poem lesson. I would read some nursery rhymes to the students, and then give them time to make a small poem. Nursery rhymes can be a great jump start for the poem lesson, because the students can see that not all things in a poem have to rhyme, and that they can be short poems.

This nursery rhymes collection is lengthy and interesting, with some unfamiliar new rhymes and others from different countries. There are 4 sections, grouped for different ages and activities. Delightful illustrations of playful children and animals by Canadian Kady MacDonald Denton. Recommended.
