Mardi Gras!

2/18/2015

0 Comments

 
In honor of Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, here are my recommendations for books about celebrations, carnivals, masks, costumes, and beads! And for anyone who might be giving up sweets for the next six weeks, I've included a "sweet" recommendation and something to read instead of reaching for that bag of chips or candy!

Boom Bah!

Shhh! Listen! Whats that sound? It starts with a Ting! When a tiny mouse taps a cup with a spoon. And ends with a triumphant Tah-dah!, as one by one, all the other animals join in. Ting! Tong! Clickety-click! Follow the band and tap your toe! Boom Bah! Here we go! With exuberant, vibrant illustrations and a rollicking, repetitive text, Boom Bah! encourages music activities, offers countless opportunities for preschool class extensions, and is perfect for story time.
