good for a musical activity

The story concerns a brother and sister who must pick up their toys at bedtime, but are hindered by the usual sibling animosity.In American spoken English, admonition is expressed by the half-sung pattern do-mi-la-so. Such utterances appear 10 times in this book. ("Bet you can't." "Bet I can." "Bet we can't." "Bet we can.") Children will enjoy taking turns playing C-E-A-G on a musical instrument.Oh, one more thing: The entire text is written in comic strip balloons--just in case you disapprove of that sort of thing.
