Description This anthology contains a treasure trove of songs and seasonal verses that will delight children and encourage them to sing and play. Illustrated throughout in color, Spring Songbook features four thematic sections: "Animals and Birds"; "Nature"; "Dancing and Games"; and "International Greetings and Foreign Languages." Providing ample material for teachers and parents, this book also includes selections of rhyming words, commentary on the significance of repetition, rhythm and beat, suggestions for incorporating movement and gesture, and practical teaching and parenting tips. For years, teachers, parents, and students have asked Sally Schweizer to publish her collections of songs and verses--and here they are, presented in four wonderful categories to inspire the imagination and to celebrate the seasonal cycle
