This book was excellent on so many levels. It not only provided songs of different backgrounds and genres but it also allowed for the use of storytelling and books to underguird the learning process. I will definately use this book for many years to come.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Exellent Nursery Rhyme SongbookBy CutieI love this book.
