Small children, even
babies, love being sung to and, as they grow older, they appreciate the ridiculousness of some of the
nursery rhymes. So add some fabulous
graphics and
animation to well known
children's songs and you have
My Favourite Nursery Rhymes DVD from
BabyTV and
Classic FM.Harriet at five months loves this
DVD – her only DVD it has to be said. We watch it with her in the
wind down time before bath and bed. What is
special is how each
nursery rhyme is individualised with different types of animation from a pop up story book for
Little Miss Muffet to parts of fruits and vegetables making up the scenery and characters in
Row the Boat.
Olivia, Harriet's mum, loves one that new to me,
Sally the Camel, and I must confess to being rather
put off by the real children performing in
The Wheels on the Bus who look like the progeny of
Stepford Wives!
However, overall,
My Favourite Nursery Rhymes is a delightfully charming
DVD which I would
recommend without reservation. Running for about half an hour, if you
can't remember the words you can play the
sub-titled version. And
songs can be played
individually.
My Favourite Nursery Rhymes [DVD]
is available from Amazon.
