"The verses in this book have been chosen from nursery rhymes and familiar animal poems of many countries (Mexico, Germany, France, Hungary, Italy, China, England, Russia, Spain, Czechoslovakia, Latvia & Japan). The authors have long since been forgotten, but the verses have lived because they are warm and lively and appeal to the imaginations of children.
