Summary
Barrett's
entertaining nursery rhymes show how toddlers have a blast building and
destroying things. The toddlers in All Fall Down build a tower block, a boat, a
food cake, and play "Ring the Rosie". The fun part is that all fall
down!
Barrett's nursery rhymes show toddlers doing the common activity of building and destroying their creations. Interestingly, Pham's illustrations are not ordinary because they represent racially and ethnically diverse children. This board book is good for introducing babies and toddlers to the world's diversity. What is more, some children will be able to identify themselves for the first time in the illustrations of a book.
