Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-15 00:00:00 Daniel Larsen I wanted to see whether the childrens' oral culture today is still as strong as it was when the Opie's were writing. I get the feeling it can't possibly be; children spend so much less time on the playground or on the street. But apparently (they give several citations) that thought is itself a very old idea, and just like every generation thinks the current generation is going to the dogs, its just another way of being curmudgeonly. Whenever I read these books I look for the rhymes and games I remember, like four-square and clapping games.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-08 00:00:00 Wesley Rodick Mary had a little lamb. She gave it castor oil. And everywhere that Mary went, It fertilized the soil. I worked in a bookstore for about a year after university, while deciding where and how to embark on my career, and this book (and several like it) was one of the hidden treasures of the children's department, in a tiny section called "Children's Anthropology." I finally got around to reading it cover to cover, and it was a lot of fun.
