The Book of Tapping & Clapping: Wonderful Songs and Rhymes Passed Down from Generation to Generation for Infants & Toddlers

Book Overview

Tapping on the bottom of a baby's foot and gently touching a baby's face, fingers, or legs are natural games that have brought joy to children for generations. Clapping a baby's hands together or inviting a baby to clap onto hands lets a baby and adult communicate through play and without words. This collection includes 71 songs and rhymes, such as "Rub-a-Dub-Dub," "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes," and "Miss Mary Mack."

Customer Reviews

A must for teachers and parents of young children

The songs and rhymes in this book are fantastic. I have used them in my pre-k classes for the past four years with wonderful results, especially with my special needs students. This rich anthology of literature has enriched my curriculum and my children's lives. When asking for suggestions from the children (or other teachers), they will always include songs from this collection. The children easily learn the songs, then go home and try to teach their parents or siblings the songs as well. I am sure that my language delayed students are progressing so well because of the songs and rhymes that I have learned from all of Dr. Feierabend's books. If you work with young children or have little ones of your own, you should have this book.
