First Steps in Music

Ages 3 to 7 years. Favourite American folk songs of earlier generations come to life for today's children in this delightful collection filled with wonder, magic, and make-believe. Storytelling and music are combined to create some of the best-loved and most enduring songs of childhood. Just as children love to be read to, they also love being sung to, especially when the song tells a story. These songs have narratives that range from silly and sorrowful to straightforward and satirical, and each song will generate wonderful images in a child's imagination.
Featuring text and musical notation, this collection includes 88 toe-wiggling and tummy-tickling songs and rhymes for adults to share with children, such as "This Little Piggy" and "These Are Baby’s Fingers."
