From "Down by the Bay" to "I Love the Mountains," children will sing and learn about our wonderful world. The enclosed CD features 25 fun songs -old favorites and originals-and the book offers more than 300 activities that help children appreciate the amazing planet earth that we call home.

Every song has:

• Literacy Links to teach comprehension skills, letter knowledge, and phonemic awareness
• Curriculum Connections to integrate the content of the song with curriculum areas such as math, art, sand and water play, science, outdoor play, field trips, and discovery
• a "Did You Know?" section with fun and interesting facts related to the song
• a vocabulary list to enhance children's language skills
• theme connections
