Our 18 month old first fell in love with Raffi's "Shake My Sillies Out" from a cassette tape of a Raffi concert. He would dance and smile, whether it was Raffi or Mommy singing the tune. Now we have the pleasure of reading the book together in "sing-song" style with the wonderful illustrations and repetition my little guy recognizes and enjoys. I am a teacher, as well as a mom, and fully back all of Raffi's song based books.

This is a wonderful book for kids about getting the last-minute sillies out of them before they fall off to sleep. My daughter (4 months) is too young to understand it, but I love reading it as part of her bedtime routine and can't wait for her to understand it. (She does sit still and listen!) I also like how it is an illustrated version of one of Raffi's songs, so that when kids sing the song, they can know the words and relate to the pictures. I highly recommend this and other Raffi books and songs.

This book is great to use for a rainy day (when you can't go outside) and as a gathering song for group times. It truly gets all the wiggles out.

My kids absolutely love this book. They will actually go to bed after we read it too, rather than want another, then another book.

My sister is a principal and highly recommeded this book for my grandchildren. THey love to read and sing so what better gift than to have it all wrapped into one.

My great niece loved getting this book for her 2nd birthday. And this Great Aunt appreciated the price & condition it was in!!! Thanks

This is a wonderful book for children. I had it years ago for my grandchildren and now it is entertaining my great grandchildren. The only place I could find it was Amazon.

There isn't much to this book, it's really just a short song about animals dancing in the forest - but the lyrics are very catchy and for young kids it makes it fun to read.

Love Raffi!!!! My kids love this book!! We have lots of fun singing and dancing before bedtime.

This book had lots of good reviews. I'm thinking this is because the owners were already familiar with the song. If you are particular about your children's books, because you'll be reading them over and over, read them first at the library or bookstore to make sure you like them before buying.
