Review
Sing With Me - Action Songs Every Child Should Know is a compilation of 13 nursery songs accompanied by suggested hand and motions for each. The songs are mostly standard and familiar - including Wheels on the Bus, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Twinkle, Twinkle, Pat a Cake. The illustrations accompanying each are delightful, warm, and colorful and include whimsical and sweet animals as well as children. Each is done in acrylic ink, pencil and collage on a plywood backdrop with simple text that include mostly the first verse of the songs and rhymes. This is an ideal book for any day-care or preschool library to encourage adult and child interaction and early literacy. It would also be perfect for a gift to new parents.
Overall Book Score: very good
