  • REVIEWS

    The rhymes in this book and the others in the series reveal the author’s clever use of onomatopoeia, like “click‐clack” and “yakity‐yak” for literary effect. They resonate strongly with young children’s natural and creative play with words and sounds.

    Children in Singapore now have access to many storybooks by local authors, with stories that reflect their own lives. But there are not so many books of local nursery rhymes available. The republication of Dr Khoo Kim Choo’s three books of nursery rhymes allows a whole new generation to access them. Perhaps one of the young parents or teachers picking up these books would have been the very children who had enjoyed these rhymes in their preschool days. A happy thought!
