英语童谣给小宝宝先起步的优势

前一阵子贴了两首童谣时我想可能有读者会有些兴趣。从点击数看这推测似乎中靶。英，美，加，澳国有100首左右的共同童谣和儿歌，下面列出的是本人认为最适当的44首：

Hickory Dickory Dock 
Incy Wincy Spider 
Jack & Jill 
My Bonny Lies over the Ocean 
I've Been Working On the Railroad
Pop Goes the Weasel 
Five Green Bottles 
A Tisket, a Tasket 
This Old Man 
Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be? 
I Had a Little Nut Tree 
The Big Ship Sails On the Ali-Ali-O 
Pat-A-Cake, Pat-A-Cake 
Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross 
Billy Boy
Humpty Dumpty 
You Are My Sunshine 
There's a Hole In My Bucket 
Old MacDonald Had a Farm 
Frere Jacques 
Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush 
Tom Tom the Pipers Son 
For He's a Jolly Good Fellow 
Mary Had a Little Lamb 
Bluetail Fly (Jimmy Crack Corn)
Home On the Range 
Do Your Ears Hang Low? 
Three Blind Mice 
I'm a Little Teapot 
Baa-Baa Black Sheep 
Little Jack Horner 
Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone? 
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star 
Hush Little Baby 
London Bridge Is Falling Down
See-Saw Margery Daw
Rock-A-Bye Baby
Rub-A-Dub-Dub, Three Men in a Tub
Lullaby and Goodnight
On Top of Old Smokey
To Market to Market
There Was a Crooked Man
She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain 
Row, Row, Row Your Boat

这些童谣不全都在youtube 听得到，而且有很多版本。最好的版本之一是 The Countdown Kids 演唱的版本，所有歌曲都在苹果itunes 网站买得到，也可以上itunes 试听：

Itunes 价格是每首歌 $.99，不过四五十块去买这些儿歌不很合算，最好的办法是买CD，两张CD 六七块可以在amazon.com 买到：

Half.com 也有这CD卖：

虽然这些童谣有DVD版本，我的建议是不要看 DVD。小儿不宜看电视和DVD，看得太多会有导致"注意力不足过动症"的可能 (Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder，简称ADHD) 。听CD则有助英语听力，了解和想象力。

小宝宝学唱英语童谣是给他们先起步优势的最好方法。我的孩子们都是在这些童谣，儿歌之中长大的。
