Classic song about the value of friendship

 

I had a fun time this week using this beautiful book for story time. I played the youtube video of Bill Withers singing his fantastic song.  This book is in a series called LyricPop. They have a wonderful catalog of cool pop songs that are illustrated.

 

Lovely lessons and a spin on Goldilocks!

 

This is a lovely version of Goldilocks and the three bears. I love that we learn a little bit about China in the book. For example, instead of porridge they are talking about congee. I like that Goldy makes amends by sharing her porridge, repairing the broken chair and making the bed. I also like how the pandas invite her to help with making the turnip cakes which were ruined. It shows that people are glad when others are willing to make up for their mistakes, so true. Very good leassons in this book. The illustrations are fantastic.
