I love singing stories to my elementary students in music class. Over time, the students learn the tunes as well and sing with me. They enjoy visuals which is why the thought of musical "story time" is usually a success for me. I love adding the motions into this as well as creating new words and motions with the students!
We love Raffi songs and this book is very cute! My daughter loves when I sing to her more than when I read to her, so it's nice to be able to show her the pictures and "introduce" her to reading books, but still be able to sing. We especially love Raffi's inclusion of bananas. =)
Kids always find it easier to read when they already hear the song in their head, so this one will be a surefire hit for threes and fours who desperately want to learn to read. Music score is included.
We do not listen to Raffi, but I was looking for a book that I could sing with and do actions. My toddler loves songs. The first and last verse are fine, but the middle verse is "If you are bananas and you know it, ring a ling."What is that supposed to mean?? My kids and I tried to think of an action to go along with that, but ended up marking out those words with a marker and replacing them with stomp your feet.The board book is ok, but very long and so bends easily.Overall I would not recommend this book unless you really like Raffi.
I love all of raffi's books and cds. I used them when I taught young handicapped children and they loved them! Now I buy them for my two year old great-niece and she loves them too. The tunes and lyrics are repetitive and fun!!
My sister is a principal and highly recommeded this book for my grandchildren. THey love to read and sing so what better gift than to have it all wrapped into one.
great book, and my daughter loves the "if you're bananas and you know it" variation. very fun addition to the home book collection!!
My youngest child's favorite book is a board book of The Wheels On The Bus by Raffi so I bought this book for her thinking she might enjoy it, too. She doesn't. This book has a completely different style of illustrations than in The Wheels On The Bus. It is a board book, so that's nice. But I don't like Raffi's modified song lyrics (i.e.: "If you're bananas and you know it") so I don't sing it as written in the book. It isn't as fun as TWOTB and the pictures aren't as pretty; there isn't as much to look at. In almost every way it's an inferior book to Raffi's TWOTB. If it wasn't a hassle to return it, I'd return this one.
