The Complete Book and CD Set of Rhymes, Songs, Poems, Fingerplays, and Chants Review
The accompanying double CD features a variety of song styles that are guaranteed to get children up and moving! User Submitted The Complete Book and CD Set of Rhymes, Songs, Poems, Fingerplays, and Chants ReviewsJune 22, 2008 Great Book This book is really great. It gave me a whole lot more songs and fingerplays to do with my kids. April 5, 2008 huge book I love this book. So many rhymes all in one book. I know it will be a valuable resource for me. January 31, 2008 Really not worth the price. This book transcribes the lyrics of 700 very common poems and songs. There is no other information, it is just a book of lyrics with a few words at the end indication the "theme." For example, the lyrics to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" are in the book with a brief caption afterwards that reads: Theme: Counting. It comes with two CDs that contain 50 of the songs and poems which you probably already have if you've bought more than a handful of children's CDs for your kid. I would recommend checking it out from the library if you really must see it. On no planet is this worth more than $15 at most. January 20, 2008 Awesome!! This book is so much fun! I am an infant teacher and I post songs and rhymes I use with the children each week. This book has all sorts of themes and subjects to work with and it is so much fun to learn new songs and rhymes. You can never know too much when you are a teacher. Thank you, Jill January 6, 2008 How could you be disappointed? I don't understand how anyone could be disappointed in this book. When I'm starting a new theme I look it up and find dances, songs and fingerplays galore. I've seen this book elsewhere for three times the price. I was delighted with my purchase. November 5, 2006 Wonderful resourse 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. August 3, 2006 The Complete Book of Rhymes, Songs, Poems, Fingerplays: Over 700 Selections by Jackie Silberg Has every fingerplay and poem I remember from childhood August 17, 2004 Disappointed I purchased this book thinking I would receive numerous ideas to use in my kindergarten class. I was very disappointed in the quality of this book. I was looking for finger plays and most of this book contained songs/rhymes without body movements. The fingerplays that are listed are very common ones, that most adults know from childhood. I was looking for something different. If you are looking for pages full of songs/rhymes (many with out a tune to follow) than this is the book for you. It wasn't for me. June 29, 2003 Great resource for working with young children If you are a teacher, daycare worker, or just like to have a lot of ideas for young children you will love this book! Jackie Silberg and Pam Schiller have compiled a collection of over 700 children's rhymes, songs, poems, fingerplays and chants. What a wonderful nostalgic trip as I turned through the pages and read rhymes and chants that I have not heard since my early childhood. Jumprope chants, skipping songs, songs for hand clapping games, they are all here. Examples include Aiken Drum, Baby Bumblebee, the Bear Went Over the Mountain, The Cow, Dr. Foster Went to Gloucester, Five Little Ducks, Going on a Bear Hunt, I Have a Loose Tooth, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Over in the Meadow, Sippin' Cider Through a Straw, and Zum Gali Gali. Each of the items is followed by a Theme Connection to allow you to quickly apply the song or chant to a particular theme such as counting, chickens, cooking, pets, emotions, or families. While most people would have no problem figuring out a theme to which they apply, the advantage here is that not only are the songs and chants listed alphabetically in the index, but there is also a thematic index to allow you to quickly find an appropriate song or chant. "The Complete Book of Rhymes, Songs, Poems, Fingerplays, and Chants" is a very highly recommended purchase for anyone dealing with young children. March 21, 2003 A Wonderful Resource I think this book is great. It is a massive collection of the old, the favorite, and all those songs and rhymes that are on the tip of your tongue, but you can't remember. This is a book to buy and keep handy, both for teachers and for parents. You will be able to grab it and quickly find what you are looking for. This would also be a great gift for new parents or teachers.
