Sandpiper

by Kenneth K. Guilmartin, Christina O'Donovan (Illustrator)

Run in the sand and play in the waves with a little “Sandpiper” and his flock until it’s time for them to go to sleep in the moonlit dunes. This charming storybook is based on the popular song from the Music Together curriculum and the award-winning “Music Together Family Favorites 2” CD. This picture book inspires singing, pre-literacy learning, and imaginative play between children and their favorite adults. The book includes a song download and activity suggestions designed to stimulate learning and music-making at home and in the classroom. Winner of eight awards including Academics' Choice Smart Book, Mom's Choice Gold, and Creative Child Magazine Preferred Choice. Academics' Choice awards program "Sandpiper is a spellbinding, family-fun song, and a beautifully illustrated book! The book's multidisciplinary approach develops oral language, singing, and pre-literacy skills, along with topic learning. Plus, it inspires physical activity (as it's hard not to act out the song)."
