Up and Down on the Merry-Go-Round Paperback – Picture Book, March 15, 1991

This is a magical story of a child riding a merry go round. The language used describes how wonderful a brief moment can be. The author and illustrator makes a story timeless.

Pros: Contains essential key phrases that toddlers love to use in association with merry go rounds- up & down, around & aroundHas great rhythm and beautiful illustrationsCons: a couple of pages featuring a really creepy clown. Not a deal breaker if your kid isn’t there with clowns yet. See photos

One of my favorites. Gave it to my 4 yr old granddaughter for her birthday and after a few readings she joined in and could recite it by herself.

We borrowed a copy of this from our city library and enjoyed it so i ordered this for my son. I would have preferred a hard cover because the book is wide and the cover is crumpled now. The story is very cute and made us smile =)

My two year old loves carousels and she adores this book. She has it memorized and recites it daily!

My 2yr old daughter is pretty much obsessed with Merry-go-rounds. She is also a picky reader, but she LOVES this book. She's had it for over a month now and has not lost interest.

Love this book. Read it many times to my own children and now to my grandson. The lyrical rhythm is very pleasing.

My daughter loves this story! It's a sweet poem about riding a carousel at the fair. It is quite lovely.
