Description:
Rhyme, rhythm, and music are an essential part of a quality early
childhood program. The authors of the perennial favorite, Where is
Thumbkin? have created activities children will love to accompany the 250
rhymes and songs in this invaluable new literacy book. Children learn
letter recognition, vocabulary, phonemic awareness while they are singing
and rhyming. Each rhyme or song includes theme connections so teachers can
easily add literacy and music into their daily plans. (256
pages; 2004)

Review: This book has been well received and very popular. In fact, it
has been difficult to keep in my office due to the many requests I have
had to borrow it. Both general education and special education preschool
staff have used the ideas and strategies suggested, and stated that they
were simple to implement and appropriate for their student population.
