Ah Music! by Aliki This book was great for all ages. We read it to ages 9 and 11 and learned so much. It is filled with History of music, instruments and composers. It also talks about culture and music. There is so much information in just this one book I would like to purchase it. We check out many from the library but this was the most well rounded you could do a unit study with just this book! It had engaging illustrations that kept us enjoying it, it almost reminds me of an Usborne book with many juicy tidbits scattered through the pages.A++
These are the books/CD used for a Kindergartner (besides mentioned above):
If You Listen by Charlotte Zolotow A Girl Named Helen Keller by Margo Lundell You Can't Smell a Flower with Your Ear by Joanna Cole The Little Brainwaves investigate… The Human Body My Ears by Kathy Furgang Mary Poppins Hello, Bumblebee Bat by Darrin Lunde The Magic School Bus Explores the Senses by Joanna Cole Home in the Cave by Janet Halfmann Bats! Strange and Wonderful by Laurence Pringle Famous Children: Bach by Ann Rachlin Bats by Gail Gibbons George Handel by Mike Venezia Bats by Ann Heinrichs Peter and the Wolf (book and CD) Carnival of the Animals by Judith Chernaik
We just started this unit, but we thought we'd use some Richard Scarry books for our 5 year old (many of the stories result in hilarious mishaps when one character or another are not paying attention to what they're doing or where they're going).
