Catch Me & Kiss Me & Say It Again — Rhymes by Clyde Watson; Pictures by Wendy Watson

This is a collection of original rhymes that have the nonsensical charm of Mother Goose’s nursery rhymes. These are poems for the very young, and they aren’t meant to be read as poems, but to be chanted in a sing-songy way while bouncing a baby on the knee, carrying a toddler on the shoulders, or counting out fingers and toes. The authors are sisters, and Clyde’s rhymes are perfectly illustrated by Wendy’s simple, timeless pictures of happy babies and small children.
