Is anyone interested in nursery rhymes?

Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone out there was interested in traditional nursery rhymes (like Mother Goose). I'm particularly interested in how these vary in different English speaking countries. For example, the traditional "Ring a ring 'o roses" has slightly different variations in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada and the US. I'm from the US, and I'm also interested in a better understanding of how English is spoken in different countries because I feel that it's important for me as an EFL teacher. I welcome your input. Thank you and best wishes.

Nursery rhyme are really good for the development of children. Most of the rhymes are easy words so children can learn to sing them quickly. Since rhymes are taught in kinder garden in the company of other children they all learn these nursery rhymes together and that's really good fun.
