Come Lasses and Lads

In this charming collection of verse, a bustling May‑day celebration comes to life through bright, sing‑song rhymes. Young lads and lasses trade witty banter as they spin around a towering pole, their steps matched to the lively fiddle that never seems to tire. Each stanza captures the spontaneous games, teasing challenges, and the simple joy of sharing songs and kisses on a sun‑lit meadow.

The book’s playful language is paired with lively illustrations that echo the rhythmic cadence, making it a perfect listen‑aloud experience for families. Listeners can hear the back‑and‑forth of characters like Willy, Johnny, and their partners as they dance, argue good‑naturedly, and promise to meet again. The gentle humor and repetitive refrains invite children to join in, turning a short holiday gathering into an unforgettable musical adventure.
