A World of Children's Songs
Mary L. Walker
Paperback (Friendship Pr, July 1, 1993)Singing songs from around the world is not only fun -- it is also a great way for children and adults to learn about the lives of other peoples. A world of Children's Songs is a collection of over 100 of the best children's songs editor Mary Lu Walker has encountered in her years as a song leader in many countries. Songs are a natural way to introduce children to new cultures and languages. In A World of Children's Songs you will find that most songs have at least one stanza in the original language (with a version spelled for easy pronunciation), that musical arrangements have been simplified without losing authentic sounds of the original music, and that these songs are a window into the wealth of diversity of other cultures.
