Critters and Company: 27 Songs and Over 300 Activities for Young Children

Paperback (Gryphon House April 1, 2006)

From "Ten Little Monkeys" to "The Bear Went Over the Mountain," children will sing and learn about the animals they love. The enclosed CD features 27 songs-old favorites and originals-and the book offers more than 300 activities that teach children about zoo animals, farm animals, and pets.

Every song has:

  • Literacy Links to teach comprehension skills, letter knowledge, and phonemic awareness
  • Curriculum Connections to integrate the content of the song with curriculum areas such as math, art, sand and water play, science, outdoor play, field trips, and discovery
  • a "Did You Know?" section with fun and interesting facts related to the song
  • a vocabulary list to enhance children's language skills
  • theme connections
  • home activities to extend the learning
  • related children's books

All children love to sing and learn, so the book includes both English language learner strategies and special needs adaptations.
