Sing-Along Song

By LeUyen Pham and JoAnn Early Macken

Book Overview

No toddler will be able to resist joining in with this toe-tapping, finger-snapping, sing-it-out-loud story! From a robin chirping in the morning, to a lazy dog snoozing on the kitchen floor, to the sound of Daddy's home-at-last footsteps in the evening, the whole day rings with its own kind of music. Lively illustrations of a loving family punctuate a rollicking text where the everyday sounds in a young child's world inspire the sweetest melodies.

Customer Reviews

Baby loves it and so do I!

My 1 yr old son LOVES this book and it's one of the few books we have that I don't mind reading over and over and over. This is the longest book that my son will sit contently and listen to from cover to cover. With most books, he's trying to turn the page three words in, but he's never done that with this book. He loves the illustrations, the rhythms and the rhymes. I wish I could give this book SIX stars. I'm actually at this site to buy a backup copy for us (he hasn't ripped up a book yet, but we mostly have board boooks) and another for his best buddy at daycare for Christmas.

cherrished!

i have 3 little boys 6,4, and 2 years old and this is one of our favorite books. It it such a sweet story about a little african american boy and how all the things in his daily life make him want to sing with joy. The rhymes and precious and we just love to read this over and over again. This book also makes a great gift.

Fun Read!

Although we brought this book to broaden our library once we had our son, our 3-year-old daughter loves it! "I burst out singing, I just gotta sing along". Beautiful illustrations and includes fathers which is often absent in some of our books. In fact, the picture and paragraph depicting the family at the dinner table is among our favorite pages. Excellent read!

Upbeat, fun book

Sing-Along Song has been my now 3 year old's number one book for bedtime reading for about six months straight! He never tires of the rhymes, the beautiful details in the illustrations, and he so looks forward to chiming in "I just gotta sing-along" at the end of each scene! I love the African-American family and the little boy narrator because my son can relate to him and see himself in others! Great book!

Excellent Read Aloud

This is a great book for it's sing-song cadence, word choice, cheerful attitude and illustrations. My toddler chooses this book to be read aloud often. As an elementary school teacher, I see many writing elements that could be taught by reading this book to school-aged chldren. I hope your children enjoy it as much as mine.
