Great collection. Forgotten classics. Diverse.

[Jimmy · Rating 4 out of 5]

A wonderful book that is filled with a seemingly endless amount of children’s songs that spans 236 pages of songs to choose from. This book is a must for any teacher, due to its wide range of songs that can be used. With the amount of songs makes the amount of phonics instructions that can be created that much greater.

I found that this book would be incredibly useful due to its wide range of songs, that can be used all throughout the year. If one song become tiresome, or just no longer fit the season, it would be so easy to find another one! I could find countless phonics activities to use this for.

This book contains childhood songs, lullabies, and much more. Not only does this book contain the lyrics to the songs, but also contains the piano arrangements and guitar chords to the songs. There is also some coloring pages as well.

I just really love that this book contains so many children's songs. I also like that it contains the sheet music for the songs so that they can be played as well. Not to mention they organized this book very nicely by putting the songs into categories. I recommend this book for grades Pre-K-2.

With this book I would create a lesson on rhyming. I could also create a lesson on syllables. With this book there are so many possibilities.
