Reviews
This is a delightful book - full of ideas to stimulate and encourage musical interactions with children - lots of old favourites included - and interesting resources and materials to enhance music and movement experiences - the children I work with have enjoyed it enormously! -- Dr Lala Manners
The book offers a great mix of images showcasing the activities that can be undertaken in support of the songs and rhymes, including equipment needed. Along with supporting cognitive and movement skills, the songs and rhymes also support language development and other key early-year skills. -- @digicoled * UKEdChat *
This book reminds you of all the songs that you thought you knew, but had actually forgotten and adds a wonderful learning opportunity for each one. It's a must-have for the shelf in a classroom and a definite one for the book list for initial teacher training. -- Ally Tansley, AfPE
