Ride A Cock-Horse To Banbury Cross & A Farmer Went Trotting Upon His Grey Mare R. Caldecott's Picture Books

Step into a lively world of nursery-rhyme nonsense, where a fine lady rides toward Banbury Cross on a white horse, jingling with rings and bells. Then join a farmer and his rosy-cheeked daughter as they trot along on a grey mare, accompanied by the irresistible rhythm of “Bumpety, bumpety, bump!”

These traditional verses are playful, musical, and wonderfully easy to follow, with repetition that invites children to join in. Mischievous animals, comic mishaps, jaunty rides, and catchy refrains give the collection its cheerful energy, making it a delightful choice for family listening and read-aloud moments. The simple language and bouncing cadence are especially well suited to young listeners discovering the pleasures of rhyme, rhythm, and storytelling.
