Summary: I have read this at least 500 times.....
Review: My daughter loves this book! The illustrations are glorious and the rhythm of the book has made it easy for her to memorize-that and the fact that we read it at least once a day.....

Review: The authors, John Archambault and Bill Martin, Jr., and the illustrator, Ted Rand, are treasures. I'd encourage you to check out their other titles (Barn Dance and Hullabaloo ABC are favorites).

The rhythm of Up and Down on the Merry-Go-Round captures the excitement and happiness of a child on a merry-go-round ride, and is fun to read aloud. The brightly colored, detailed, and imaginitive depiction of an old-fashioned carousel are irresistible, both to me and my child.

I only wish this title were still available in hardcover. My two-year-old resists returning this book to the library, and requests it be read to him (often several times in a row) many times a week. I'm about to order a softcover copy, but I don't think it's likely to hold up to the use it will see. A must for every young merry-go-round lover.
