A Wonderful Collection of Waldorf Songs!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Sing Through the Day is a family favorite. When I was a parent toddler leader, these songs were the basis of our group. A wonderful collection of truly Waldorf-Inspired songs, this is a great way to learn the melodies to these lovely tunes. In this newly revised edition, eighty songs from around the world are brought together in a stunning musical celebration of childhood. It's all here, from waking up in the morning, playing with puppies or on the swing, watching clouds and picking flowers, to celebrating birthdays, hearing fairytales at bedtime and dreaming of magic ponies. Excellent for Homeschooling families looking for songs! As for the lyrics, this is a veritable gold mine, with classic poems from Christina, Rossetti, Robert Loius Stevenson, Hans Christian Anderson, Rose Fyleman, Margaret Wise Brown, William Blake and many others... I highly recommend this lovely book and compact disc. ...
My son LOVES this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
My 3-year-old son absolutely adores this book and CD. He loves looking at the beautiful color pictures and listening to me sing the songs. He has even picked up the words to many of the songs, and likes to sing along. The songs are unusual -- I had not heard most of them -- and beautiful, with lovely messages about nature and joyful living. A good change from the common nursery rhymes all children learn. There are also some games (actions) suggested for some songs. I took the book to my son's preschool and we sang songs and did the motions -- the kids loved it. I have bought four copies of this book to give away to friends and relatives.
Wonderful collection of children's songs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Super-durable hard cover book with high quality glossy paper. Contains music and words to 80 songs. There are 56 songs on the CD. Illustrations are colored-in woodcuts and charcoal sketches. Illustrations go with almost every song and include animals, nature scenes, and multicultural children who are happy and doing just about every activity from blowing dandelion seeds into the wind to playing dress-up as king and queen. Songs are well organized by subject. The "chapters" are: morning, play, nature, games, birthday, weather, and evening. An alphabetical index of song titles is at the end of the book. Songs that are included on the CD are clearly marked in the text. The CD is piano music with a chorus of children singing. What a wonderful resource for parents and teachers!
A children's songbook for all ages!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I find this a good songbook for quality family time! You can sing lullabies to your baby, enjoy the multicultural illustrations with your preschooler, learn new songs with your second grader, and read the chords with your budding guitarist. From singing games to finger play to poetry this songbook has such a wide selection, with a CD to help those of us who can't read music.
Best Childrens Songbook in the World
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
If there was only one songbook for school districts and teachers in daycare and kindergarten rooms, this should be it! The illustrators picture all races and cultures happily sharing the pages. Most excellent: the pictures show 'real' children, not little models. Let's neutralize harsh commercial material thats bombards children with 'what they should look like'! The songs and lyrics are sweet and childlike. It's message is an inspirational to the family and shouts joy from cover to cover.
