Story time with my baby girl.

This book is so cute, I love these nursery rhymes.

🐮Old MacDonald had a farm
🚌 The wheels on the bus
⭐ Twinkle twinkle little star

These bring me back to my baby time and lots of memories singing them to my niece's and nephews.

Favourite songs and Rhymes

This book fits perfectly in my daughter's nursery, plus we found the moo moo 🐮 😂

My daughter loves this book and the fact that it comes with a disc with the songs is a bonus.

Fun book to sing along with.

[Patricia Teskera · Rating 3 out of 5]

1. No awards
2. Preschool to 2nd grade
3. This book takes place on a farm and opens with a rooster waking everyone up and goes on with the cats, chicks, cows, the sheep and so on. You learn each animals sound in the song. The ending is cute because he says on this farm they had a song and everyone is happy, singing and dancing.
4. The book was beautifully illustrated and fun to read. It was stuck in my head after I read it. The repetition did get a little annoying towards the end.
5. Repetition, learn about farm animals, singing to learn animals

Based on a song of the same name, this book could be used to teach young children about farm animals and the sounds that they make. It incorporates music, so this book is a fun way to learn about the farm animals.

This book is good for teaching about animals, environment and setting, fluency, narration, repetition, and rhyming.
