picture book (song from guys & dolls, including sheet music for the melody and chord accompaniment). Cute song that charms adults more than kids (but the unique vocabulary might be worth introducing in storytime, maybe?). I opted not to use it for my baby/toddler group, but I may change my mind--I did like learning the song.
This is a cute story that young children would enjoy. The illustrations are bright, colorful, and well done. The story line is simple and easy for young children to grasp. While this story has a cute plot line, there is one thing that I feel would not be great for children. I personally feel that words like "heck" and "dickens" should not be in children's books.
I love this time period, and this play does such a good job representing the stereotypes we have of the era. Slick talking guys and independent gals. Love the entire thing. I even love the movie version with Brando and Sinatra.
This book is a sing along and young children love books that rhyme. Usually children are good at memorizing these types of books.
