Growing Readers: Humpty Who? Giveaway

Lullabies are often the first stories that our children are exposed to as infants. As our children grow into toddlers and preschoolers they graduate to nursery rhymes complete with finger plays and body motions. As parents we love the familiarity of the tunes that we grew up with but we don’t always remember the important things…like the words! Maybe like me you’ve muddled through a tune of Frère Jacques making up your own French words along the way. Or perhaps your inquisitive mind has always pondered the definition of a tuffet.

To the rescue is Humpty Who?: Crib Sheets for the Nursery for Clueless Moms and Dads. Humpty Who? is a collection of 80 classic poems, songs, lullabies, rounds and riddles. What makes Humpty Who? unique from other nursery rhyme treasuries is the insightful commentary. One of my favorite discoveries was a recipe for pease porridge. As a bonus the book also comes with a 35-song CD.

Win It! Workman Publishing has generously offered one copy of Humpty Who? to giveaway. Enter by commenting with the name of your favorite lullaby or nursery rhyme. The giveaway will end at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25th. I will notify the winner via e-mail. Stay tuned this week for more giveaways.
