Retro suitable nursery ryme for moms and dads

Genius:-)

Just taught my 5 and 3 year olds this. But swapped rusty for awesome:-)

Thanksfor this:-)

My two have both liked that.

The boy is also keen on an old (it was second hand when bought to read to me in the 70's) edition of a Ladybird Book "Tootles the Taxi".

It's got trolley busses, railway drays and water dowsers, as well as,

Ike the Ice cream van, looking so gay, a character sadly missing from the 80's re-print.

Mark, quite a few of the Gumdrop stories are set locally to you. One involves a visit to Bosham, and yes, a car does end up being caught by the tide.... Oh, and Tootles the Taxi brings back a few memories! Some good ideas here for stories etc for the twins when they are older

I think Val Biro used to live down this way. I'm sure that I saw the actual car at the West End Car show in Bognor when I was very small. (unless my dad was just telling me it was like Gumdrop).

Dan, they are all from the same book - I'll stick a few more pages up this evening. I've been meaning to do a thread on them for ages. I might even fire up the scanner and do it properly.

There's quite a few copies on e-bay.

when I was a boy I used to repeatedly get a book out from the library about talking cars that lived together in a scrap yard I think, they were furry I seem to remember - never found it since
