Let’s Sing Together Review

PUB DATE: August 4th, 2009

Thanks to Wendy at Sterling for sending us this book to read and listen to.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Sing out! One of America’s most beloved singers continues to bring the joy of folk music to a new generation in this exciting new anthology of sing-along, group, and campfire songs. It’s the third and newest release in the Peter Yarrow Songbook collection, which followed in the wake of the bestselling Puff, the Magic Dragon. The beautiful book features lyrics, guitar chords, and historical notes for 12 classic songs, all illustrated with sparkling art by Terry Widener and accompanied by a CD recorded exclusively for the book by Peter Yarrow.

Together, these songs will brighten up every group event, from summer camp to car trips to rainy days at home with family and friends.

MICHAEL’S THOUGHTS
Michael loves the Puff The Magic Dragon book and cd he has. He got it last year for Christmas. So when he found out that this was the same person he was really excited to listen to the cd. We have listened to the cd alot and he said he wants to bring it with us on vacation next week. I have to admit that Michael loves listening to music and I am not sure how many 6 years old enjoy that.

The books illustrations are very well done and the illustrator is Terry Widener.

Something else that we enjoyed about the book was the orgins of the songs. Did you know that “Blue Tail Fly” was written well over a 150 years ago? No neither did we.

Michael’s favorite songs were John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, This little light of mine and She’ll be coming around the moutain. It was really nice to have the book as it was all the lyrics to the songs and I have to admit that I forgot the words to the songs over the years so it was a great refresher. Michael also enjoyed the twist on the song She’ll be Coming Around the Moutain.

This will be a book that we treasure for many years to come.
