The Musical Bookshelf

Make literature come alive with this cross-curricular resource that explores 20 carefully curated children's books from a kaleidoscope of cultures. After reading the book aloud, perform the accompanying musical activity that includes engaging conversation starters, step-by-step teaching procedures, creative extensions, and National Standards in both language arts and music. Many activities include downloadable, projectable, and reproducible materials. The stories themselves are not included, but many can be found in your school library!
