Joy of Rhymes is a merry mix of conventional and modern rhymes of varied moods-bubbly, naughty, nasty, peppy and pleasing. The collection is refreshing, lilting and hummable. Clearly making it a hot favourite with children. What makes the book extra special is its fabulous four colour artwork in soft tones, enhancing the appeal of each rhyme and evoking a powerful visual imagery in children. Transcending over traditionalism, the book also includes a section on General Knowledge at the end to familiarise children with certain basics of daily life. In all, the book is going to be a pleasurable learning experience with no stress.
