The Rooster Crows

Summary

This collection gathers American rhymes, jingles, and finger games that children once chanted while skipping rope, counting out, or playing in the yard. Maud and Miska Petersham illustrated the familiar verses with bright, cheerful pictures alternating between full color and softer monochrome pages. The book preserves a body of homegrown folk rhyme and presents it as a lively keepsake of American childhood play.
