Encouraging the centuries-old practice of amusing and distracting babies by bouncing them on the knee, this collection contains more than 150 traditional songs and rhymes for bouncing, including "Pop Goes the Weasel," "To Market, To Market," and "This Is the Way the Ladies Ride." “Lullabies, simple songs, and rhymes! They are so much more than notes and rhythms—they have a way of bringing adults and children close together in warm, fun, loving ways. This rich collection of classic treasures that John Feieraband has gathered can easily nourish both children and their adults.” —Fred Rogers, creator and host, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood John M. Feierabend is professor and chair of the music education division at the Hartt School of the University of Hartford in Connecticut. He lives in West Hartford, Connecticut.
