Rapping about The Air Around Us

by Bobbie Kalman

Published 15 November 2012
This entertaining rap explains that we cannot live for more than a few minutes without air and why it is important to breathe clean air. Children will learn about photosynthesis, how trees help clean the air, how air moves, different names for air, how air has no shape but fills space, its presence in water, and how wind can be harnessed as a clean source of energy.
“When I say ‘trees’, you say, ‘clean air.’
Will you plant trees to show that you care?”

Rapping about What Animals Eat

by Bobbie Kalman

Published 15 November 2012
What names do we call animals that eat certain kinds of foods? Children will have fun rapping their way through herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. These words are perfect for rhyming and rapping, especially for children who love to use supersized words.
“Are you a granivore, frugivore, and folivore?
Could you also be an insectivore?
Are you all these things—and even more?”

Rapping about Animal Homes

by Bobbie Kalman

Published 15 November 2012
Children will love the wonderful pictures in this fun introduction to the kinds of homes animals make in various habitats.
“Homes are in habitats, on the ground or in trees.
Some are in water—in lakes, rivers, or seas.
A home can be a cave, a burrow, or nest.
It is a safe place for animals to rest.”

Rapping about Bodies of Water

by Bobbie Kalman

Published 15 November 2012
Rhymes talk about water and the many forms it takes in oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, wetlands—even in the bodies of living things!
”Rivers flow from high ground to low.
They carry fresh water as they go.
The source of a river is where it begins.
The mouth of a river is where it ends.
Rivers meander in curves and bends.”
