  2. You're welcome. These books are cheerful both in music and pictures. I just received a fun new one in the mail, Here We go Round the Mulberry Bush. This one features 4 kids from around the world and follows their daily routine, sung to the Mulberry Bush tune. Available through the bfbooks.net link.
