The Swapping Song

I’ll trade you this for that! Whether trading marbles, baseball cards, or doll clothes, children have always enjoyed the game of trading. In this captivating book, the illustrator imagines this beloved folk song as a way of trading toys between friends. This is also known as "The Foolish Boy," an old English nursery rhyme whose story can be found in variations in Hans Christian Andersen and The Brothers Grimm. Like the other books in Feierabend's First Steps in Music series, this includes a description of the song's history, the notation of the song, and a link to a free MP3 download of the song as well!
