Tapping on the bottom of a baby's foot and gently touching a baby's face, fingers, or legs are natural games that have brought joy to children for generations. Clapping a baby's hands together or inviting a baby to clap onto hands lets a baby and adult communicate through play and without words. This collection includes 71 songs and rhymes, such as "Rub-a-Dub-Dub," "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes," and "Miss Mary Mack."

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for teachers and parents of young children,
By Susan V.Goode (Bonaire, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Book of Tapping & Clapping: Wonderful Songs and Rhymes Passed Down from Generation to Generation for Infants & Toddlers (First Steps in Music series) (Paperback)
The songs and rhymes in this book are fantastic. I have used them in my pre-k classes for the past four years with wonderful results, especially with my special needs students. This rich anthology of literature has enriched my curriculum and my children's lives. When asking for suggestions from the children (or other teachers), they will always include songs from this collection. The children easily learn the songs, then go home and try to teach their parents or siblings the songs as well. I am sure that my language delayed students are progressing so well because of the songs and rhymes that I have learned from all of Dr. Feierabend's books. If you work with young children or have little ones of your own, you should have this book.

This review is from: The Book of Tapping & Clapping: Wonderful Songs and Rhymes Passed Down from Generation to Generation for Infants & Toddlers (First Steps in Music series) (Paperback)
I waited a long time to purchase Tapping and Clapping and now I wish I had ordered it years ago. I love that these rhymes are passed down from another generation. My kids especially loved the page that had movements to do on their backs. Even my 4 1/2 year old loves it. I would definitely recommend this book to Moms who are looking for something a little different and a little nostalgic for their toddlers.
1.0 out of 5 stars
a disappointment,

This review is from: The Book of Tapping & Clapping: Wonderful Songs and Rhymes Passed Down from Generation to Generation for Infants & Toddlers (First Steps in Music series) (Paperback)
I do not enjoy the lyrics in these books. I bought them after hearing the author interviewed on "The Parents Journal". I have found this and a sister book on tapping and clapping songs a great disappointment. Especially if you are not musical like me, I would stick to more traditional nursery rhymes and songs that you will already know the tune to sing to.
