Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

reS-Gr 1-This resource is packed with fingerplays, crafts, songs, games, and snippets of information arranged by season. Topics for the first section, fall, include apples, leaves, squirrels, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. Winter suggests themes of mittens, snow, and a number of holidays including President's Day. The text consists mainly of fingerplays and action rhymes interspersed with boxes containing simple craft and recipe ideas; short, thematic book lists; "Check the Calendar" notations of special days (Winter Solstice, Groundhog Day, Earth Day, etc.); and happenings throughout the year. Some of the fingerplays are familiar ("Five Little Pumpkins," "The Wheels on the Bus"); others are original ("Dr. King, He Had a Dream" sung to the tune of "B-I-N-G-O"). Simple, black-and-white line drawings of children of various ethnic backgrounds are scattered throughout. The pages for autumn are bordered by leaves, winter with snowflakes, etc., to allow for ease of locating material. For seasonal programming, this title will be useful for educators and libraries serving young children.
