I remember them from when I was a kid, and also when teaching my little sister to read (she's 8 yrs younger than I). Lines like "One fish two fish red fish blue fish" stay with you for quite a while! Something else I recommend is letter building blocks. You can teach even a very young child to recognize and name the letters (often by the age of 2 or so), and when they get bored they can use the same blocks for building things. -- {allegra,cornell,decvax,ihnp4,linus,utzoo}!utcsrgv!dave
