Come, Lasses

Reach for this book when your child is bursting with energy or when you want to celebrate the arrival of spring and community togetherness. It is a perfect choice for those moments when you want to slow down and appreciate the simple, rhythmic beauty of a shared neighborhood celebration. This Victorian nursery classic follows a group of young people as they head to the Maypole for a day of music, dancing, and lighthearted courtship. It captures the bouncy excitement of a rural festival through Randolph Caldecott's legendary illustrations and a rhythmic, song-like verse. While the language reflects its 19th-century origins, the themes of friendship, joy, and the thrill of a party remain timeless for children aged 3 to 8. It serves as a gentle window into history, showing that the need to run, dance, and play with friends is a universal human experience that spans generations.
