We’re reorganizing our story time book shelves, and including a separate section for one of my favourite kinds of picture books – singable stories! I love sharing singable picture books, and if you look through my many, many story time plans, you’ll see that I often share them as my second picture book, when I know I’m starting to lose the attention of my wiggly young audience. I’ve shared some of my top singable pictures books here on the blog before, but here are a few more great musical books to add to your collection. And if you’re absolutely convinced you can’t sing, most of these work beautifully as rhythmic chants, too! Clicking on the title will take you to each book’s WorldCat listing, where you can hopefully find a copy at a library near you.
