Beautiful illustrated collections
of classic songs and rhymes
for young children (0–36 mos.)
Compiled by John M. Feierabend
For generations, the songs and
rhymes of American folk culture
have delighted children, creating a
“hushed wonder” at playtime. No
fireworks, no crazy musical arrangements,
just adult and child connecting
with rhymes and music. These treasures
once were passed from parent or grandparent
to child, yet in recent years, with
changes in technology and family structure, they have been in danger
of being lost and forgotten.
A new series of books by John M. Feierabend brings back this
music and poetry of America! The Book of Wiggles and Tickles, The
Book of Bounces, The Book of Lullabies, The Book of Simple Songs and
Circles, and The Book of Tapping and Clapping are filled with the type of educational
play parents and teachers crave! Rhymes, songs, and games bring our heritage to the
newest generation by connecting them to a rich repertoire of folk music
while building their musical sensibilities, which can help in their appreciation
and understanding of music later in life! Each collectible book is also delightfully
illustrated to enhance the activities.
Feierabend, an early childhood music specialist and professor at The Hartt
School of Music, has spent decades compiling songs and rhymes that our parents and
grandparents sang to us when we were children. In the same vein as classics like “This
little piggy...” and “Where is Thumbkin...,” the high-quality children’s literature in
these books has withstood the test of time, inspiring wonder, joy, and laughter in
infants and toddlers for well over a hundred years!
