review 1: Very popular at my SOE program. I had to promise to hold it for a parent for the following week since I had several jazz story times. 4/25/11It was also popular this year at TPK. A parent grabbed it after the program so I had to order another copy for my Tuesday evening program. I hope to use it again since the rain kept attendence down for Story Time and plus repetition is good at that age right? 4/18/12Well received at Story Time again.
review 2: Summary: A mouse enters the house on a cold day. He runs across the piano and that causes the whole house to start playing different music. Everyone joins together and plays one great big song.Uses: shared reading in grades k-2nd; independent reading for early readers; recommend to all students; great for teac... morehing the poetry genre; possibly continue with the rhythm until each child comes up with a new "sound" (great way to incorporate rhythm and song into your classroom)Literary Devices: rhymes, personification, onomatopoeia, allusion Social issues: everyone is different just like everyone makes a different sound, everyone is important; working togetherOther: This text is written in rhymes. It is perfect for a shared reading (all can join in on the chorus of "doo-dat, diddy-dat, diddy-dat, doo!"). It would be easy to read this story with expression. Children will love it! less
