Summary: Familiar songs and some new ones too.
Review: You will immediately recognize songs like The Wheels on the Bus or Row, Row, Row Your Boat, but have you heard of Peter Hammers or I Hear Thunder? I have fun memories of teaching: Six Little Ducks and cutting out little duck visuals in college until late in the night. This book brought back memories of teaching and really will encourage learning. The book/tape set is nice because children can learn the songs before they can even read. Later, they can read the book and teach their friends the fun rhymes. Children will especially enjoy: She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain. Down by the Station sounded very familiar and I was wondering if my mother might have had fun singing this to me when I was a young child. I thought I heard her voice in the song, well, in the back of my mind while it was playing. Nice English flavor and accents. The rhymes encourage playfulness and silliness. Oh, to be a kid again! Children are comforted by music and there is no reason you couldn't sing some of these songs to a baby. Some of them are quite funny because the singers improvise a bit. I really don't remember the ending to Row, Row, Row Your Boat and here it has three verses. The pictures show how to act out the rhymes so this not only becomes an exercise manual for kids ;), it also serves as a babysitter. You might also enjoy Nursery Rhymes by Debi Gliori and Playtime Rhymes (a similar book/tape set). ~TheRebeccaReview.com
