Children’s Sing Along Books
An original song – sings the words in the text of the story. Pre-readers and non-English speaking learners around the world can now sing-along: The inclusion of a musical CD is ingenious. It elevates the books to more than a reading experience. By employing the musical CD, the author gives the teacher more tools for teaching.

The rhyming and phonics, both crucial elements of language development, will help children to develop critical language skills. But the children will not notice that they are learning as they read and sing along to the simple stories. They will be too busy giggling at the silly illustrations and dancing to the lively tunes.

This series of brightly colored picture books is specifically designed for the amusement of children ages 2 to 8. The texts emphasize rhythm, rhyme and repetition, while each charming and lively volume is accompanied by the inclusion of a 5-minute musical audio CD. . . . Enthusiastically recommended.
-Midwest Book Review
Derrick has penned a series of very amusing books for children aged 2 to 8 that will appeal to the natural inclination of children to enjoy imaginary friends and the author provides some wonderful ones. The illustrations of these books are superb and there is no doubt that young readers will improve their reading skills, but most of all they will be enjoying the stories and artwork.
