Synopsis

From "Make New Friends" to "Skidamarink," children will sing and learn about the people that matter most in their lives. The enclosed CD features 26 songs-old favorites and originals-and the book offers more than 300 activities that teach children about family, friends, and feelings

Every song has:

• Literacy Links to teach comprehension skills, letter knowledge, and phonemic awareness
• Curriculum Connections to integrate the content of the song with curriculum areas such as math, art, sand and water play, science, outdoor play, field trips, and discovery
• a "Did You Know?" section with fun and interesting facts related to the song
• a vocabulary list to enhance children's language skills
• theme connections
• home activities to extend the learning
• related children's books
