Maurice Sendak's "Nutshell Library" books all have Carole King tunes to go with them, and there are a whole string of books by Mary Ann Hoberman and Nadine Westcott (such as "Lady With the Alligator Purse") that are based on songs.<BR/><BR/>I like the comment about your voice best. I tell every parent the kids don't CARE how well you sing--but you will sing better for your kids than any other audience!The Library Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321601076252214546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372766156282694670.post-53496999659586553802008-02-25T13:53:00.000-05:002008-02-25T13:53:00.000-05:00I love that song, too.

We sing a few of our picture books (Duck in a Truck, anyone?), fewer now that we read longer books--but I'm going to try it with one today!

Thanks a LOT! OK, but seriously, I think this is a great idea. I've often wondered why song isn't used more in teaching. Think about it. We can remember all sorts of songs and jingles from our childhoods - if more facts had been tossed into those, we would remember those, too. Of course there was Schoolhouse Rock. And I still spell Mississippi using a song from some little educational TV bit. But anyway, I like the idea of singing picture books.
