"Any early years educator knows that the holy grail of music resources is a sing along CD that is lively and repetitive enough to get everyone in the room happily joining in...but musically interesting, too, and performed in such a way that adults in the vicinity can bear hearing it for 17 straight repeats.

Gobble! Gobble! Gobble! is just one song - but it is so brilliantly composed and presented that it’s worth a whole disc of ‘Children’s Favourite Nursery Rhymes’ three times over.

For a start, you can read along, enjoying Hilary James’ kooky illustrations; there are actions, too, clearly explained at the back of the book; and you even get the music, with ukulele chords. The verses are complicated and gloriously silly; the chorus is simple to pick up and a joy to sing. All in all, a thoroughly satisfying package!"
