Busy Bodies, Busy Brains by Mari Schay
This collection of more than two dozen traditional songs groups them in four units: Bears, On the Water, On the Farm, and Weather. Each unit includes a name song, warm-up, and read-aloud book idea along with singing, movement, and instrument playing activities. In the short but invaluable introduction, Mari shares how she uses this material in her classroom, which welcomes three-year-olds and builds their brains and bodies into the best musicians they can be.
