Clap Your Hands: Finger Rhymes

Jiggling, wiggling, dancing, running, scrambling and beamingsmall characters on each page exhibit the finger movements to traditional and modern verses with abandon and plenty of good cheer. ""Here Is the Church,'' ``Mouse in the Hole'' and ``Pat-a-Cake'' are but some of the gleeful fare; most children will have at least a nodding acquaintance with some of the selections, but everyone will find fresh material as well. And Goffe, with inky cross-hatching and washes and stripes of watercolor, will inspire the most lapbound of readers to join with the breathless energy of the children on these pages. Ages 1-6. (March)
