Thank you! I've been digging around for some new music to play in my classroom. These would be great!
ReplyDeleteYou'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.
ReplyDeletePawan, Thanks for commenting. Marcia wrote this guest post for my blog and I must agree with you that these books look like a great addition to any classroom library!
ReplyDeleteWe like musical books, too. One of our favorites is Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter Yarrow. Awesome illustrations.
