Description: Looking for the perfect bunny rhyme to add to your story hour program? Or a song about ducks? Or maybe you just need all the words or music to "There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." Animals are one of the most common themes for children's programs. This versatile volume provides you with an A to Z resource to traditional children's rhymes, songs, and fingerplays that are based on animals, from alligators to zebras. In addition to words, you'll find musical scores for "Old MacDonald," "The Eentsy, Weentsy Spider," "Pop! Goes the Weasel," and many more; as well as instructions for action rhymes and fingerplays This is a handy, one-stop resource that you will turn to again and again. Organized alphabetically by animal name, it contains the full text, musical score (in the case of songs), as well as instructions for fingerplays of more than 650 of the most common or popular versions of the works--all in a format that can be readily reproduced and used. In a few cases, Spanish-language versions are also included, along with English-language translations. A thematic index and generous cross-referencing will help you locate exactly what you need; and age/grade levels will help you determine which material is best suited to your audience.
