What's better that reading a book?! Singing a book - of course! Each time we visit the library to check out books, I try to find at least one that is based on a song. Much to the amusement of Hubs - whose singing is typically limited to the shower - these end up being the books that Elise asks to read over and over and over again!
Here's a little list of some of our favorite singable books. Please feel free to add yours in the comments!
- Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes by Annie Kubler
- Mary Wore Her Red Dress and Henry Wore His Green Sneakers by Merle Peek
- Baby Beluga by Raffi
- There Was a Tree by Rachel Isadora
- Down by the Station by A. Twinn
- If You're Happy and You Know It by Jane Cabrera
- Over in the Meadow by John Langstaff
3/17 UPDATE!!! I can't believe I left out Fiddle-I-Fee by Will Hillenbrand - one of our very favorites!
Over in the Meadow is a personal favorite for me. I sing it sometimes to children who get upset or anxious in class and it soothes them. I was just singing it to the baby this morning. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that! I'm getting excited for your baby! :)
DeleteThat's a lovely idea for a post, Anne! Thanks for highlighting these books, we don't have many actually and you have helped me realise that. I am especially curious about the Baby Beluga one as Finn likes the song, and Over in the Meadow, which he likes as well.
