I especially appreciated the variety of rhymes included in this collection, ranging from the familiar classics to lesser-known gems. It was a joy to discover new rhymes that I had never heard before, while also revisiting old favorites that brought back memories of my own childhood.
Overall, Baby's Opera is a true treasure that would make a lovely addition to any child's bookshelf. The combination of beautiful illustrations, catchy music, and timeless rhymes makes it a timeless classic that will surely be enjoyed for generations to come. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a charming and engaging collection of nursery rhymes.
