Great for school libraries too!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
As a school librarian, I have used this with kindergarten classes, special education students, and an autistic class. The soothing music and beautiful pictures of the dolphins and other sea life held the children's attention. Not often do classes clap in appreciation for a book at its conclusion!
Ancient Rhymes - Just beautiful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book and CD are absolutely beautiful. I recently gave it to my godson at his christening - I also sang the song during the ceremony. The pictures are so inspired and match John Denver's words just perfectly. Thank you for gifting us with such a treasure, I'm going to have to order another one for my book shelf too.
