I own a lot of song books for use with my children (we homeschool), including lots of specialty Waldorf books. I love many of them, but this is the book that my whole family seems to enjoy the most. The songs are SO catchy and delightful to sing with the kids. Ruth Seeger specifically selected folk songs that were beautiful, fun/easy to sing, and lend themselves well to improvising lyrics/motions with children. The kids love making up new verses for all the songs, and we often sing them while we are out doing other things (going on walks, etc.). The piano accompaniment pieces are deceptively simple yet provide a rich sound (if one decides to use them). There are also chords provided, and sometimes I play my ukulele along with the songs. Also, every page is illustrated with quaint and charming drawings by the magnificent illustrator Barabara Cooney! It must have been one of her first projects! I love everything about this book! If you can read music, buy it!
This book is a treasure! The introduction gives a wonderful background on these authentic folk songs and how they can be used with children. This is an essential book for music teachers, but also great for parents. Be careful, though, because once the children know the songs you'll hear them over and over again... :)
This is the book with the favorite songs from my long ago childhood. So I bought it for my daughter so she could sing these to my grandchildren.It has the good songs. Songs with lots and lots of verses. Fun songs for older kids and songs to sing babies to sleep.
A must have for educators and lovers of children's music! Ruth Crawford Seeger's philosophy and organization is supreme and still highly applicable to teaching today. Enhance this by purchasing the recordings made by Peggy & Mike Seeger in the 1980's.
I own a copy of the original print of this book. It posseses some of the most whimsical little songs I have yet to hear. Its just...fabulous...and I don't even know how to play any instruments....lol
This is the bible for children's folksongs, with artwork by Barbara Cooney the icing on the cake!
