Product Description
From School Library Journal
Arranged in straight alphabetical order by title, and decorated with lively pen-and-ink illustrations, the more than 700 selections in this compendium indicate a wide age range, from nursery rhymes for the very young to folk songs and other familiar American tunes. Each entry has at least one "theme connection" listed beneath it, and some have as many as four or five. Some are a stretch, but many will be helpful for librarians and teachers who do thematic programming. "Hickory, Dickory, Dock" lists mice and time of day as its theme connections, while "Looby Loo" suggests days of the week, movement, and parts of the body. This book will be of limited use to new programmers or those who have no musical knowledge or ability. Only 17 songs are accompanied by a melody, and none suggest recordings, even those with sophisticated or lesser-known selections such as "Down by the Riverside" or "Cockles and Mussels." Inexperienced programmers may also be frustrated by the lack of age guidelines. For more experienced or music-savvy programmers, this volume might very well be a repetition of what they've already garnered from other sources. Still, it may come in handy in some collections. A thematic, title, and first-line index are included.

This is a gorgeous resource.,

This is a gorgeous resource. It is exhaustive and well-organized. It helped me to recall the songs and rhymes that I had done with my children over 30 years ago. Now I am reviving them with my grandchildren. I also bought the CD set that goes with the text. You just can't beat the old traditional material that has stood the test of time. And of course the best test is that the children still react to it and love to learn it.

If you are a teacher, daycare worker, or just like to have a lot of ideas for young children you will love this book! Jackie Silberg and Pam Schiller have compiled a collection of over 700 children's rhymes, songs, poems, fingerplays and chants. What a wonderful nostalgic trip as I turned through the pages and read rhymes and chants that I have not heard since my early childhood. Jumprope chants, skipping songs, songs for hand clapping games, they are all here. Examples include Aiken Drum, Baby Bumblebee, the Bear Went Over the Mountain, The Cow, Dr. Foster Went to Gloucester, Five Little Ducks, Going on a Bear Hunt, I Have a Loose Tooth, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Over in the Meadow, Sippin' Cider Through a Straw, and Zum Gali Gali. Each of the items is followed by a Theme Connection to allow you to quickly apply the song or chant to a particular theme such as counting, chickens, cooking, pets, emotions, or families. While most people would have no problem figuring out a theme to which they apply, the advantage here is that not only are the songs and chants listed alphabetically in the index, but there is also a thematic index to allow you to quickly find an appropriate song or chant. "The Complete Book of Rhymes, Songs, Poems, Fingerplays, and Chants" is a very highly recommended purchase for anyone dealing with young children.

I think this book is great. It is a massive collection of the old, the favorite, and all those songs and rhymes that are on the tip of your tongue, but you can't remember. This is a book to buy and keep handy, both for teachers and for parents. You will be able to grab it and quickly find what you are looking for.This would also be a great gift for new parents or teachers.
