Great book for the little ones. Short, easy to read and sing along with the Raffi song... We've read this one over and over and over again and it doesn't get old. As far as I'm concerned, that makes this a wonderful book!

This is a silly, entirely enjoyable and lighthearted singing book, illustrated with two children trading turns to introduce the verses of this popular Raffi song (score included). Each verse is illustrated with the animal in the child's home. The song is particularly upbeat and fun for children, who can memorize the lyrics and sing it themselves; but the illustrations, while funny, are fairly average.
I especially enjoy this book paired with the version of the song performed by Eric More...

I actually had no idea for the longest time that this was a book. I heard the song long before I read the story. Both are great for rhyming and you can incorporate the story into doing other activities. I have seen people have the children make the characters from the story as well as do the sing alongs.

This has very cute pictures, and the music is included in the back....I just thought that the last couple of pages/last verse of the song was rather awkward.....They supply a non-rhyme for the "did you ever have a time when you couldn't make a rhyme" verse.

Funny things happen down by the bay like a goose kissing a moose, a whale with a polka dot tail, a fly wearing a tie, a bear combing his hair, llamas eating pajamas, an apple wearing a bapple and orange eating a blouse.
Good for phonemic awareness.

Another option for Boogie Woogie books, this title is part of Raffi's "Songs to Read" series. When it comes to song books, Nadine Bernard Westcott is the premier illustrator, adding humor and bright colors in her supplement to the books.

If you want to sing, Raffi has a great song version of this book. The story just resinates rhyming and making up words. The illustrations draw the children to the page and the rhyming keeps them engaged.

This book is one that you are meant to sing along to. It is great for the parent because it helps them to remember, and share the songs from their youth.

This song is great fun, whatever the setting -- story time, car rides, washing dishes. Use these verses and then make up your own!

Always one of my fav songs as a kid so when I saw it at the library I had to check it out. It's so fun watching Ella enjoy it. The pictures are really cute and the music is in the back so we can practice playing the song on her toy piano!

The girls really liked it, especially PB. Same illustrator as "Farmer Brown Goes Round and Round", one of our all-time favorites.

I grew up loving this song rhyme. The pictures in this book really bring it to life, and have entertained my daughters.

I liked this b/c I can never remember the words to the song. Now I don't have to.
