THE RUNAWAY PANCAKE  by John Lithgow

This is a great sing-a-long book.  The class will love singing the main theme by the Runaway Pancake every time... including the volume needed at the end of the story.




HIP CAT by Jonathan London

It's all about Jazz.  Here is a Reading Rainbow link for the story read by Ann Duquesnay.

MAMA DON'T ALLOW by Thacher Hurd

There is a copy of the sheet music at the back of the book. It is a fun story.

This is a story about a giant named Abiyoyo and the creative battle of the father and son to win.
