In my internship, we had a whole group devoted to musical stories that the school librarian ran with us (she read and we provided accompaniment).<br /><br />I'm always on the prowl and also have a full bin of books.<br /><br />I work with quite a few adults, so I'm always looking for musical stories that adults and children will enjoy! Some of my favorites are John Denver (Sunshine on My Shoulders; Country Roads), This Land is Your Land, Puff the Magic Dragon. My kids love Over in the Meadow/Over in the Ocean, The "There was an Old Lady" series (just bought "There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Chick" for Easter/Spring!) and the "If You Give a Mouse a ______" series.<br /><br />Friday I bought "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at Target. Words can't begin to describe how amazing it is. The illustrations are amazing and Judy Collins' rendition is breathtaking. Friday was rainy and this book was perfect. The children (and adults) loved it, and the calm that it brought was a sight to behold! You must make a trip to Target and get this (or order it online if they don't have it!)

It is a great way to incorporate literacy into our music therapy sessions. I work in a public school with students ages 5-21 with a wide range of developmental disabilities. Thanks for other suggestions. Glad to know we are on the same track.<br />Jacueline Edwards, MA, MT-BC, NMT We have used Zin Zin Zin for a number of years and have done just that…recorded examples of each instrument as well as provide large color photos of the instrument as the example is played.
