I've never met a baby yet who doesn't like going for a horsey ride on mommy or daddy's knee. So pick up that little one, find a comfy chair, recite this catchy rhyme, and get ready for some belly laughs.Come climb up
On Daddy's knee.
Take a horsey
Ride with me.
Giddyap! Giddyap!
Ride to town.
Giddyap! Giddyap!
Up and down.
Giddyap fast!
Giddyap slow.
Giddyap! Giddyap!
Giddyap! Whoa.
Recite it once, twice, three times more...simple, lively, fun! And yes there are plenty more nursery type rhymes like Giddyap written by Stephanie Calmenson in her book Welcome Baby! Splashy bath rhymes, messy eating rhymes, & peekaboo rhymes for hours of play. Melissa Sweet's delightful watercolors illustrate babies learning, growing, and playing throughout a typical day. By reciting or reading rhymes you are helping your child learn the rhythm and sounds of language which helps them learn to read.
