by John M. Feierabend (Compiled by)

Tapping on the bottom of a baby's foot and gently touching a baby's face, fingers, or legs are natural games that have brought joy to children for generations. Clapping a baby's hands together or inviting a baby to clap onto hands lets a baby and adult communicate through play and without words. This collection includes 71 songs and rhymes, such as Rub-a-Dub-Dub, Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes, and Miss Mary Mack.
