The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night
Hannah Scott said: The Fox Went Out On a Chilly Night, a classic folk song illustrated by Peter Spier, tells the tale of a daddy fox robbing a henhouse to feed his family. If you're not familiar with the song, I highly recommend listening to the Nickel Creek version alongside this book!

Puff, the Magic Dragon
Hannah Scott said: Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter Yarrow is a folk song made popular in the 1970s by the group Peter, Paul, and Mary. The lyrics themselves tell the story of a little boy and his (presumably imaginary) dragon friend, Puff. The painted illustrations by Eric Puybaret bring the already-vivid lyrics to life in an even more endearing way. This is a lovely accompaniment to the music!

All You Need Is Love
Kelly R. said: Singalong picture books are a fun way to introduce young kids to the adults' favorite music, and this illustrated version of John Lennon and Paul McCartney's timeless tune is cheerful and adorable. Love is all you need.

Sing
Stephanie W. said: One of the most classic and lovable songs from Sesame Street is "Sing." The words of this song have been put in a book with the most adorable illustrations. Even tiny birds can sing out loud and sing out strong!
