Nursery Rhymes

Nursery rhymes are a traditional form of children's music that has been popular since at least the 16th century. They are usually sung or recited by adults to children, and often feature simple rhymes, melodies, and repetitive lyrics. The topics of nursery rhymes often reflect traditional English and European folk stories, fairy tales, and other topics of interest to children. Examples of well-known nursery rhymes include "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," "Humpty Dumpty," and "London Bridge Is Falling Down."
