What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
Some of the traditional rhymes contain thematic elements that could be seen as sensitive. "Rock-a-bye Baby" ends with the line "Down will come baby, cradle and all." "Ring Around a Rosy" is sometimes apocryphally linked to the Great Plague, ending with "Ashes, ashes, we all fall down." The book's approach is entirely playful and secular. The "falling" is depicted as a fun, gentle tumble, a game. The historical context is absent, and the focus is purely on the physical action and rhythm.
