Had a Little Rooster

This book is the latest in the First Steps in Music series of lavishly illustrated children's song tales based on the American folk music heritage. This delightful traditional folk song tells the story of a rooster and all his friends on the farm who love to sing. This book is a song that has been shared and sung for more than 100 years, with each verse introducing a new character and a new sound that must be added to the previous verse, making each verse longer and longer. Cumulative songs are fun to sing, as they require singers to use more and more breath, and challenge them to remember an ever-increasing cast of characters and sounds.
