Big...small...quiet...loud...feathered, flippered, or furred.... All God's critters have a place in the choir! And this jubilant and raucous bunch is waiting for you to join in because everybody has a part to sing. It doesn't matter if you sing like a bird...howl like a wolf...or croak like a frog! This is the perfect book for the beginning of each school year when we join in community together.
This is a good book to read to a little one. The illustrations are set to a well-known lyrical song. Recommended!
Illustrated by Kadir Nelson, this large picture book is a lively romp through this children's song. Perfect for church school or camp.
The rollicking lyrics of a favorite folk song provide Caldecott medalist Margot Zemach a chance to display her own special twang--so come and join the critters in the choir. "An animalia of delight greets readers with a melting-pot grand finale. A beautifully wrapped package of fun!"--School Library Journal, starred review.
