Welcome to Learn a Rhyme

Rhymes are the oldest schoolroom there is. Long before children can read, they can chant, clap, count and giggle their way through verses that have been passed from lap to lap for centuries. Every rhyme in this collection comes with its full traditional words, what we know (and what we merely suspect) about where it came from, ideas for sharing it with children — and a printable coloring page to go with it.
