The Complete Book of Rhymes, Songs, Poems, Fingerplays, and Chants (Complete Book Series)

I had ordered several song and rhyme books for toddlers. This title was perfect- lots of songs, different versions, and themes listed. It was exactly what I wanted. It’s not a textbook-just a great resource

I'm currently taking a music for children classes and this book it not required for the class but OH BOY how helpfull has it been. I was not born here so I didn't even know the itsy bitsy spider. This book it's helping to thrive trough my class I'm really glad I bought it and found it on amazon.The CDs only have 50 tracks so not all the written materials are on the CDs, but it's still great enough for beginner like me.

I love the this book. I just wished that the cd's had which songs are listed on them amd which track number.

Is it not amazing that in all countries there are common practices for the first moves of educatng a baby. It has not been scientifically explained but the practice of all mothers in this world stimulates an awakening to memorize language by finger plays with rhymes. There is a strange secret relation between the touch of the fingers and the memory. I had once been invited for an interview - to fill a vacancy in an international firm and had come exactly on the minute. The competent person to evaluate my experience was late and so I talked with his assistant. Our subject was memory of names and he gave me the advice that there is a secret to memorize forgotten names by taking a needle or other sharp object and putting it with some force into the hand while uttering the name. When trying in vain to speak out this name at a later occasion it would just jump into my mind when placing the sharp object to the place of my hand.So, this book is a wonderful start for all babies to develop learning. Although to be used mainly in the English speaking world it is good also in other countries as one can get a good start to the English language.

Silberg has done an amazing job at gathering, writing, and organizing this fun book. I bought it when my son was two and in the last two years we have done almost everything in this book. I think that the information that is contained within this book is great for any parent of a toddler to have. My little boy is smarter simply because I took the time to purchase this book. I found The Complete Book of Rhymes, Songs, Poems, Fingerplays, and Chants for just a fraction of the retail price on Amazon. It was delivered within a week of being purchased and was in such great condition that it looked brand new!

I am thrilled with this book. It is exactly what I wanted. It is well worth the price. It has stories and pictures ready to color to go with the rhymes, stories, etc. The index of activities is 11 pages long. There are 640 pages in the book. There is a Thematic Chart. The book covers games, stories, action stories, listening stories,prop stories,puppet stories, rebus stories, arts and crafts recipes, food recipes, and dances. The book is printed in black and white.

This book has sooo much to it! I'm an early childhood major and I absolutely love this book. Even my teacher thought it was great! Book is alphabetized which makes it easy to find what you're looking for and in the back of the book you can find each thing by theme!

The book I like, but the sloppy manner of it being thrown in a box with another item, causing the pages to be crinkled just ticks me off!

Gigantische Sammlung von Reimen, Fingerspielen, Gedichten..., schön illustriert, mit Umsetzungsbeispielen und zwei CDs, die es auch Nicht-Muttersprachlern ermöglichen, die Lieder einzusetzen. Unentbehrliches Material für alle, die im Kindergarten oder Grundschulbereich Englisch vermitteln. Sensationeller Preis!

if you want to read short rhymes ... with no real explanation how to make them exciting.. then be my guest.the idea is good but in reality it does not work. i could not use anything from this book

I bought the book to go with the CD of the same name, that I bought for my 3 year old. The book is sorted alphabetically, so easy to find the songs that you are looking for, there is also a listing by type and also by the first lines, so difficult not to find what you are looking for.This is an american book, so maybe not what UK buyers are looking for...I took the book and CVD to my daughters creche here in France, and as there are instructions for the movements, it was easy for the french kids to follow on....

das Buch ist gut; mein Kind hat viel Spaß beim Geschichten zuhören; er ist nur 2 Jahre alt aber er lacht viel jedes Mal er Donald Duck Stimme hört

Le livre regorge de chansons (en anglais )mais c'est dommage qu'il n'y ait pas d'index pour retrouver les chansons quisont sur les CDs.L'index thématique est utile par contre. Il faut comprendre l'anglais pour les retrouver et c'est une perte de temps. C'est dommage. Sinon il est sympa ce gros livre !!
