Lemonade, hounds and summer activities, oh my!

Perfect for primer level (pre-reading to beginning reading,) the teachers' backups are my favourite part of the book! Songs: Lemonade Boogie, This Jazzy Day, A Bowl Of Jelly, Chess Club, Little Frog Boogie, The Computer Virus, A Funky Song, How I Love The Good Old Summertime!, Hot Cross Blues, Hound Dog Blues, A Lazy Afternoon, My Dog Elmer, Night Jazz, Pete and Repete, Rainbow Colours, Strawberry Rag (my favourite, which is repetitive and in C Major) and Smiles; some of the lyrics were written by Gayle Kowalchyk and others by Katie Mier, granddaughter of the composer.
