One fun aspect of this rhyming book is that children have the option to sing and dance along with all of the rhymes. The actions are also supplied with the lyrics, which I thought was really beneficial. I liked how it also provided alternate versus and extended versions of some rhymes as well.
Topics: rhymes, singing, dancing, matching actions with reading, repetition.

Rhyme is so important in emergent literacy, and this book walks you right through common rhymes as well as suggesting actions that go along with the words. Your students will learn them quickly and love to do them as a class.

Great compilation of action rhyming songs and poems, complete with instructions. Not for young children to read, but perfect for adults to learn and teach to children.

Very familuar rhymes, but the illustrations are very nice for young children.

Fun games to play with groups such as pre-school story time, toddler time, and baby time.
