Reviews: 

‘This multicultural treat will encourage creative movement as well as creativity in inventing other verses for preschoolers.’ —School Library Journal

‘Complete with a singalong CD this delightful version of the traditional rhyme takes the reader to four different countries watching children get ready for school.’ —Carousel

‘In this cheerful picture book with an accompanying CD, four children in different cultures act out the revised words to a traditional song, Here We Go round the Mulberry Bush … Brimming with activity and colour, the stylized acrylic paintings make each setting look different and inviting … Slipped into a plastic pocket on the endpapers, the CD features Canadian musician Fred Penner singing the new words. Appended notes introduce the old song and the accompanying movements. An upbeat way to introduce the notion that people around the world are different yet have much in common.’ —Booklist
