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!
