Summer Stories for Kids (Poems, Songs, Plays, Stories, Festivals)
KINDERGARTEN RESOURCE, 1st GRADE RESOURCE
This a great collection of Summer Stories for Kids. One of Wynstones’ six books compiled for parents, homeschoolers and professional educators to use working with young children, Summer contains a variety of poems, songs, plays and stories for festivals and the season of summer.
First published more than twenty years ago, these Wynstone books are in their third edition, now re-edited and with much new material added. In addition, the music has been comprehensively edited, with most songs now in the scale of D-pentatonic, which is particularly suited to pentatonic lyres and may be played on any traditional seven-note or twelve-note instrument. Each volume includes an enlightening introduction by Jennifer Aulie on music in the “mood of the fifth.”
BEAUTIFUL WATERCOLOR COVER
The covers are all illustrated in watercolors by David Newbatt, with the four seasonal titles each depicting a different worker.
