難しいかも
１冊で１つのお話というわけではなく，押韻詩というのでしょうか，音韻を踏んだ短い詩や数え歌のようなものが，たくさん(50個くらい)載っている本です． 声に出すとよく分かるのですが，リズムにのって小気味よく読むことができます．絵からもアメリカの子供たちの，楽しそうな遊びの光景が伝わってきます． しかし，難しい．．． 自分の英語力の限界のせいでしょうか，それとも理屈で考えようとしてしまう固くなった思考のせいでしょうか(ナンセンス系のお話・歌がけっこうあります)，非常に難しく感じました．あんまり理解できなかったので★は少なめ． 誰か英語力に自信のある人，読んでみて．

This was a book from my childhood of Colonial American nursery rhymes and I was delighted to be able to buy it. This book is well made with all the lovely, original pictures. The colors are vibrant.

It’s a Cladecott—can’t go wrong, though not my favorite.

I have the original hardcover that I received in 1953 when I was three. I wanted a better copy. Interestingly, some things were changed or eliminated entirely. I am sure it was because, when it was first written, things were acceptable that aren't in this day and age.

This new and revised edition is good, but it's not as good as the old one.
