About this title

Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 1 Bill Hooper sings 12 original songs which are designed to invite listener participation. He sings these mostly rock style songs in a very nice, deep voice, accompanied by guitar and percussion instruments. "Rabbit & Turtle" is a song version of the famous Aesop fable, with listeners encouraged to pat their laps for the running rabbit. During "Seasons," listeners twirl and fall down slowly like autumn leaves, snowflakes, and spring blossoms. As Hooper sings about the different "Colors," youngsters are to stand up when they hear the color that they are wearing. In "My Place," children walk, hop, march, and run in place. For "Garage Door," youngsters are to raise their arms. Listeners hop, fly, and run in place during "Hop Little Bunny." Children are encouraged to imitate the "Silly Little Ostrich" by hiding their faces. The "Parrot Song" introduces different animal sounds. Listeners climb and run in place for "Climb Up the Mountain." In "Big Red Ball," they roll one arm over the other. For "Bees," listeners move to the directions in the song. Finally, children march in place to the "March Song." Other fairly recent albums that encourage children to move and participate with the songs include AlphaBeat (Nov. 2001, p. 80) and Wiggle and Whirl (July 2001, p. 63). They have more variety of musical styles, instrumental background, and movement activities than Hooper's album. Hooper's production is a pleasant addition for those libraries that need more participatory and activity music. Beverly Bixler, San Antonio Public Library, TX
