Picture Book 10 for 10 – Sing Along

There’s nothing as exciting as singing along to a picture book and gaining everyone’s attention – kids love music and song (regardless of how horribly you sing!) and if want to try to get attention in storytime, at home, or while babysitting, try singing along instead of just reading – you’ll be amazed! I loved to sing along to books in storytime, it holds their own special power and really engage kids with the book. Here are ten titles that I’ve sung, chanted, and loved – enjoy!

1. If You’re Happy and You Know It: Jungle Edition by James Warhola
2. Ten in the Bed by John Butler
3. Down By the Station by Jennifer Riggs Vetter, illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz
4. I Ain’t Gonna Paint No More! by Karen Beaumont, illustrated by David Catrow
5. Row, Row, Row Your Boat by Jane Cabrera
6. Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by Eric Litwin, illustrated by James Dean
