My sister is a principal and highly recommeded this book for my grandchildren. THey love to read and sing so what better gift than to have it all wrapped into one.

Great book! 5 out of 5 stars.

This book is great even if you don't know the music. My little guy 'reads' along while listening to the Raffi CD, but you don't need the CD to enjoy the book. The pictures are terrific for the child and adult. My son insists on reading this every night at bedtime, and that's okay with me!

gift for new mom's or mom's to be 5 out of 5 stars.

I love this book and the accompaning CD. My grandsons who are now 13 had this book when they were infants, and were still singing the songs when they were 5. I gave it as a gift to my God Daughter, and this one was a gift for my first Great Grandson. Raffi writes stories and songs that children should grow up with. I am positive I will give this book and CD again.

Wondefully illustrated 5 out of 5 stars.

While the song is adorable and the pages are nice and sturdy, what I really like about this book are the illustrations. They are vibrant and clear and my son loves looking at this book over and over again. He is 16 months, so it is easy for him to point out animals and ask what they are. I like how the whale goes from being a baby, to a larger whale in the book and how different pages are shown with different perspectives. One page has a view from where the bird is flying in the sky--so the bird is large and the whale is small because he is swimming in the sea below. Another page has a broad view of the icebergs, sea, sky and northern lights. I am very impressed with the clarity and creativity of the illustrations in this book--and of course the song itself is fun to sing!

Editorial Review:

Raffi's signature song and the top seller in his Songs to Read series, Baby Beluga is now available in a quality board book edition perfect for his youngest fans.

Raffi Rocks! 5 out of 5 stars.

My almost 2 year old son loves this book and the CD! Perfect for little ones who are starting to exercise their sense of humor :)

One of my favorites 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

As a child this was one of my favorites and now am excited that I have a little one of my own to sing it to. My husband is in the Army and actually calls me from work to tell me he cant get it out of his head. As for my daughter, she is 19 months and really likes looking at the book and dancing to us singing it. This is the same author as Baby Beluga which is just as much a favorite as this one.

Editorial Review:

A classic silly song that toddlers know and love, Down by the Bay has been a favorite and best-selling Raffi Songs to Read/reg/ since it was first published in 1988. In this friendly board book edition, irresistible art by Nadine Bernard Westcott depicts wonderfully amusing creatures such as a bear combing his hair, a goose kissing a moose, and a whale with a polka-dot tail. Very young children will find this book both entertaining and instructive in early language skills such as rhyme, rhythm, and repetition, and will delight in hearing it read or sung aloud to them.

Ready for giggles? 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Are you ready for some fun? Do you love to see your kids laughing and wiggling? This book is for you.

Children of all ages will delight in joining in the fun. You'll sing, giggle and shake all those sillies out.

If you're having one of those days where the little ones just can't sit still, or they've been cranky and you need a good book- this is it.

Read, sing it, do it- what fun for the whole crew. This would be great for a day care, pre-school, or young group of children. They'll get creative and show you just how goofy they can be.

My kids absolutely love this book. They will actually go to bed after we read it too, rather than want another, then another book.

great interACTIVE book! 5 out of 5 stars.

This book is great to use for a rainy day (when you can't go outside) and as a gathering song for group times. It truly gets all the wiggles out.

Editorial Review:

Illus. in full color. "Rollicking pictures of a moonlit night in the woods of Camp Mariposa, where both animals and campers are struck by the urge to shake, clap, jump, waggle, and eventually yawn. Melody line and chords are provided at the end."--Language Arts.

A great book with many things to talk about 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I bought this when my daughter was 13 months, and after 7 months she still loves this book. There are different people in the bus - adults, kids, elderly, pets, etc., and many things happening on and off the bus.

When my daughter refuses to drink her milk, I'll turn to the page where the baby is happily drinking from the bottle, then she will take her cup and start drinking.

Try Raffi's CD as well. He sang the song to a cheerful tones with kids in the background - my daughter loves it.

Timing is everything to read this book, which is really a song. Although the notes are at the end to hint how the words should be read, without hearing it sung first and reading it out loud in a dull monotonous fashion a toddler may look at the reader as if to ask "Why bother?" Then I heard it on one of the CDs and now the words flow beautifully and make me read and read, read and read, all through the night.

Wonderful book with beautiful pictures 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is the well-known and loved five little ducks story, but the artwork is absolutely charming and my daughter loves to notice new details each time we read it. Definitely a book that will get read and re-read, but you won't tire of it since it is so beautifully done.

Great book for reading readiness... 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought this as a follow up to "Wheels on the Bus" which my daughter just loves. The story/song is really cute to read, but I'm disappointed with the illustrations. Still a good buy.

wonderful book, the kids at my school love it! 4 out of 5 stars.

I love this book and the students at my school love it as well! It was a great purchase.

Editorial Review:

Illus. in full color. "Vivid pictures tell the tale of a mother duck who loses her ducklings, one by one. A happy ending is assured when they return with ducklings of their own. Music and chords are included. The title is well done, giving a visual dimension to a popular children's song, and will be successful for story times and general library use."--School Library Journal.

I used this book with my preschool class. I brought in a toy spider to go along with it. I sang the song as I read it with the children in a circle. Then I put the spider on the children and the part of the body the spider was on. This was a fun book to do.

Whew!

This latest high-energy entry in the Raffi Songs to Read® board book collection is just right for very young children. The repetition, rhythm, and rhyme will help build early language skills and the outrageous story will have children clamoring for it again and again. “There’s a spider on the floor, on the floor. . . .”

Kids always find it easier to read when they already hear the song in their head, so this one will be a surefire hit for threes and fours who desperately want to learn to read. Music score is included.

Happy to know it. 4 out of 5 stars.

Editorial Review:

It's Monkey's birthday and all his friends are getting together to celebrate, but shhh, it's a surprise! Join in as Rabbit makes the invitations, Hedgehog brings the balloons, Fox makes the dessert, and all the animals shout "Hooray!"when Monkey arrives at the party.

This adorable story is the perfect match for the traditional song that every child loves to sing and clap along to, while Cyd Moore's inviting, kid-friendly artwork will keep kids coming back for more. This delightful story, newly available in board book, gives Raffi's core audience of toddlers something to clap about!

A great book of singable songs! 5 out of 5 stars.
53 of 54 people found this review helpful.

This song book contains the music for dozens of Raffi's wonderful children's songs. Most of them are easy enough for even a beginning guitar player to learn quickly enough to impress the under 6 set! There is nothing like singing with your kids! This is also an excellent tool for PreK and K-3 teachers who may not have the luxury of an in-school music teacher. They are easy to learn, and are loved by kids - great for a rollicking sing along or 'filling time' on those bad weather days!

Great book for reading readiness... 5 out of 5 stars.

Excellent Beginner book 4 out of 5 stars.

I strongly recommend this book for the adult beginner (or child) who is familiar with Raffi's music. Mr. Sun is the first song I officially know on my guitar...LOL And I am proud to strum it for the ever impressed 4 year old in my home! :)

I definitely found the music and layout of the book to the benefit of a new guitarist.

Editorial Review:

Over 50 songs to delight children everywhere, in easy-to-play, full-sounding arrangements with complete lyrics and guitar chord boxes. Includes: If I Had A Dinosaur, Goodnight Irene, This Old Man, and Wheels On The Bus.

This Little Light of Mine 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is such a cute rendition of a book based on this classic song. It encourages being creative and showing your true inner self in both the words of the song as well as the cute story told through the illustrations of a classroom of children putting on a school play and having a great time doing it. My two year old really liked this one.

Great at Bedtime 4 out of 5 stars.

My daughter enjoys having me sing this book to her at bedtime and points to the pages. The words/ stanzas do not flow well with each other. As an adult, I find that annoying but what matters most is that my daughter enjoys it! and it puts her to sleep after reading it a couple of times.

Editorial Review:

Raffi’s version of this traditional favorite song is perfectly paired with Stacey Schuett’s adorable illustrations as a shy young star prepares to take center stage in a school play so she can let her own light shine.
Now available in board book format, toddlers everywhere will love to read and sing along with one of their favorite songs as they turn the pages, and parents will appreciate the story’s message that celebrates the importance of both individuality and community.
