Shake My Sillies Out (Raffi Songs to Read)

This book is not very funny because I'd much, MUCH prefer Nickelodeon Magazine (1993-2009) and Alan Katz publications.

This book is great to use for a rainy day (when you can't go outside) and as a gathering song for group times. It truly gets all the wiggles out.

My kids absolutely love this book. They will actually go to bed after we read it too, rather than want another, then another book.

Are you ready for some fun? Do you love to see your kids laughing and wiggling? This book is for you.Children of all ages will delight in joining in the fun. You'll sing, giggle and shake all those sillies out.If you're having one of those days where the little ones just can't sit still, or they've been cranky and you need a good book- this is it.Read, sing it, do it- what fun for the whole crew. This would be great for a day care, pre-school, or young group of children. They'll get creative and show you just how goofy they can be.

Our 18 month old first fell in love with Raffi's "Shake My Sillies Out" from a cassette tape of a Raffi concert. He would dance and smile, whether it was Raffi or Mommy singing the tune. Now we have the pleasure of reading the book together in "sing-song" style with the wonderful illustrations and repetition my little guy recognizes and enjoys. I am a teacher, as well as a mom, and fully back all of Raffi's song based books.

This is a wonderful book for kids about getting the last-minute sillies out of them before they fall off to sleep. My daughter (4 months) is too young to understand it, but I love reading it as part of her bedtime routine and can't wait for her to understand it. (She does sit still and listen!) I also like how it is an illustrated version of one of Raffi's songs, so that when kids sing the song, they can know the words and relate to the pictures. I highly recommend this and other Raffi books and songs.
