This Little Puffin . . . Nursery Songs and Rhymes by Elizabeth Matterson

An enchanting collection of musical games, action songs and finger plays, which no mother or nursery school can afford to be without.

This Little Puffin . . .

This remarkable treasury of finger plays and singing and action games will be a delight and a blessing for anyone who wishes to persuade young children to join in musical activities, either in groups or individually.

Each of the rhymes, songs and singing games has been well tried and proved popular since this working collection was compiled with the help of nursery school teachers all over the country by Elizabeth Matterson -- ex-Chairman of the National Association of Pre-School Playgroups and a Course Tutor to nursery nurses -- and author of the very useful Penguin Handbook Play with a Purpose for Under-Sevens.

Cover designs and chapter headings by Raymond Briggs. Other decorations by David Woodroffe.
