When Uncle Took The Fiddle - By Libba Moore Gray

Everyone in the house is just too TIRED . . . That is, until Uncle starts to play his fiddle! Toes tap, hands clap, and soon even the neighbors are playing instruments and joining in some country dancing. Pastel pictures and lots of sound words bring the reader right into the middle of it all! This would be a fun book to share during music class.

A Balloon For Grandad - By Nigel Gray

When his balloon accidentally blows away, a little boy is comforted by the idea that perhaps it is traveling to visit his grandfather in Northern Africa! This book is wonderful for adding colorful adjectives to a child's vocabulary.  The African folk art is very fitting to the story line.
