Somr Josef and Bambini di Praga: Rhymes - CD

Folk nursery rhymes are short, simple poems with a distinctive rhythm, intended for the very youngest children. They help with children's games, practise speech in the form of various tongue-twisters, tease children, and develop their imagination.

The most famous children's nursery rhymes were compiled by the painter Josef Lada into a collection, which he illustrated with pictures that correspond in their playfulness and simplicity with the rhythmic text. This concertina book of rhymes has been teaching many generations of toddlers not only correct pronunciation, but speech in general. Now, fifty-two of these most famous short poems are being released on our album, not only spoken by Josef Somr, but each rhyme is immediately followed by a version set to music by Jan Rotter and sung by a children's choir. Children also know this cycle of Lada's nursery rhymes from Czech Television broadcasts as part of children's programmes.

An exemplary example of a brilliant educational tool that introduces children to the world, develops their imagination, speech, and singing technique, all in the form of a beautiful work of art!
