The Book of Children's Song Tales

by John M. Feierabend, Tim Caton (Illustrator)

"Favorite American folk songs of earlier generations come to life for today’s children in this delightful collection filled with wonder, magic, and make-believe. Storytelling and music are combined to create some of the best-loved and most enduring songs of childhood. Just as children love to be read to, they also love being sung to, especially when the song tells a story. These songs have narratives that range from silly and sorrowful to straightforward and satirical, and each song will generate wonderful images in a child’s imagination."
