Editorial Reviews

Review

"Classical music, opera, folk songs--even barbershop quartets--presented in a friendly, upbeat manner that invites participation."

Product Description

You don't need to have any special training or own an instrument to make music with kid-loving music makers Avery Hart and Paul Mantell. Kids everywhere will be doing the "Dinosaur Dance," singing the "Dishwashin' Blues," belting out "Jug Band" and learning to "Tap Dance." Those hands will be clapping, those feet will be tapping, and those faces will be grinning.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is an excellent source for teachers., April 12, 1999

By A Customer

I have used this book as a source for a workshop I do for early childhood educators. It has excellent ideas and ways of presenting musical concepts. The book content leans a little to the older ages (6-8), rather than the early childhood population. However, it is still valuable for early childhood educators.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, October 28, 2007

By	Jasmin Faulk "Jasmin Faulk" (Laramie, Wyoming) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I homeschool my kids and we use this book everyday as part of our school curriculum. We have made instruments, we have learned facts, we have appreciated nature with this book and have incorporated it in our daily lessons. It is designed real well - the chapters are awesome and make it so motivating to want to plan a musically rich lesson daily. It is a great book to have for any parent or teacher that wants to create and appreciate music with thier kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn the fun and creativity of Music!, March 23, 2009

By	Cherub (Hamilton Ohio) - See all my reviews

Very fun book full of great activities. Kids learn to make music with their own bodies and even get to make homemade musical instruments. We use this book for homeschool but it would be great for anyone! Williamson Publishing has the best books. Check them all out!
