Review
------
You know when you see the name Hap Palmer that you're in for a
treat. This program contains 12 of his original songs, with the
words on the screen so you can read, or even better sing along.
Bright illustrations and colorful photographs accompany each song
and show children from all around the world delighting in being
who they are. Palmer calls this format "Musical Picture Books for
Young Children." The songs teach as they entertain and each has a
positive message, a contagious melody, and enough repetition so
that viewers will have no trouble diving right in. Among the
numbers featured are "Down by the Bay," "What Do Animals Say?,"
"Witches Brew," "We're on Our Way," and others. Music and
classroom teachers will find this a delightful diversion for
students and kids will demand it again and again. You can't go
wrong with Hap Palmer! Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary,

We are definitely a family who immerses ourselves in books and
music. It's no surprise that when we received Read & Sing with
Hap Palmer my boys quickly took a liking to it. When you pair
music with a story it becomes the perfect teacher for my wee
ones. Hap Palmer's DVD has become a new favorite watch and
dance-a-long! The Read & Sing with Hap Palmer DVD features
beautiful musical picture books for young children. It features
twelve of Hap Palmer's favorites and presented in a series of
books filled with great illustrations, music, and more. My
two-year-old's favorite from this DVD is the "What Do the Animals
Say?" story and loves repeating the sounds. It's so cute to
watch! His favorite sounds to imitate: "Caw, Caw"! Awesome! While
my two-year-old gallops and sings along my four year old is
capturing the words printed on the screen along with the melody.
This DVD helps new readers focus on text, identify words,
and more. I am so encouraged when I stumble upon educational
material that is simple, profound, and entertaining for my kids.
I had never heard of Hap Palmer before receiving this DVD and
have now become a huge fan! It's no wonder he's received so many
honors and taught classes and workshops for prestigious education
associations. Kudos to the team! --Does Mommy Love It
