    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!

    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!

    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!
