Friday Notables - Wee Sing Christmas

Today's Friday Notable is perfect for this holiday season. Wee Sing for Christmas by Pamela Conn Beall and Susan Hagen Nipp is a compilation of 58 Christmas songs and finger plays. I had this particular book and tape cassette growing up and have many happy memories of singing these great Christmas songs with my family. The book now comes with a CD or you can purchase it in audiobook format from services like Itunes. There are a fair number of songs sung by children on the audio, but several are sung by adults which some parents have found not to be as popular with their children. The audio also has only a select few verses of each song. The best value really comes from the book itself as it lists every verse of the songs. All the songs also have musical notation with them - a great way to introduce young children to reading music as they will be familiar with most of the songs. I don't listen to the tape anymore, but I still get the book out at Christmas and its a great resource for my classroom as well. Definitely worth a look. Thanks for reading!
