You can certainly read this book as is (text only), but it’d be even more fun to sing it! Get ready for “I’m a Little Teapot,” “Over the Meadow,” “On Top of Old Smokey,” etc.
The back of the book holds quite a few more facts and interesting tidbits. Plus, they include a website where you can download a free “Teaching Activity Guide” with games, craft ideas, quizzes, maps and more.
Enjoy learning!
