Book excerpt: Action songs, feel-good songs, rhythmic songs and funny songs -- Eileen Diamond's Everyday Songbook is a bright collection of 29 catchy melodies. The songs cover everyday topics appropriate to the age groups, and have been carefully designed to stimulate language development, creativity, coordination, memory, rhythmic responses and concentration. No musical knowledge is required as demonstration and fun backing tracks are provided on the two CDs included. (Alternatively, piano accompaniments are available to download.) Actions and follow-up activities are also included, as well as simple percussion parts to some of the songs. The Everyday Songbook is ideal for use at home, nursery and elementary school.
