About this title

Synopsis

Children can learn what happened to the five little ducks who go out to play but who do not return, as well as learn to count, in this tale by the popular children's minstrel

From the Back Cover

One of my greatest rewards as a children's entertainer has been discovering how naturally and easily young children respond to music. They love to hear their favorite songs over and over and they quickly become familiar with the words. As children listen and sing, they are learning the concepts that underlie beginning reading: story, sequence of events, rhyme, and ryhthm.

The repetition and predictable pattern of my songs make them "singable" and easy for children to remember. The same qualities make them readable, too.

This Song to Read "RM" is a natural bridge between singing and reading. Once children know a song, they find it's fun and easy to follow it in pictures and words.

Whether you read along or sing along, this Song to Read "RM" will provide both pleasure and real learning. Enjoy sharing it with your children!
