From the supplier: The song picture book can simultaneously facilitate music development and language growth. It can promote emergent literacy by providing repetition and predictability, taking advantage of familiarity and enjoyment, and encouraging critical thinking and problem solving. The song picture book also broadens children's vocabulary and knowledge of story structures, while also providing opportunities for creative expression and language play.
