Animal Crackers by Jane Dyer is one of my favorite collections of nursery rhymes. Really, it contains more than just traditional nursery rhymes and is divided into sections like food, classic nursery rhymes, bedtime poems, seasonal pieces, and more. The illustrations are warm and idealistic without being overly cutesy. This collection would appeal to a girl or a boy. My daughter could sit and listen to this for a long time, although she usually picks out her favorites to be read rather than reading the entire book. Some poems and song lyrics from around the world are also included, so this collection is a good mix of well-known pieces and ones that were new to me.
