Book Reviews of Down By the Bay (Raffi Songs to Read)
Book Review: An Upbeat Transition-to-Reading Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a silly, entirely enjoyable and lighthearted singing book, illustrated with two children trading turns to introduce the verses of this popular Raffi song (score included). Each verse is illustrated with the animal in the child's home. The song is particularly upbeat and fun for children, who can memorize the lyrics and sing it themselves; but the illustrations, while funny, are fairly average.
I especially enjoy this book paired with the version of the song performed by Eric Heatherly on Country Goes Raffi (although this album contains some other songs that are so annoying I burned an edited copy to play in our home). Another good transition-to-reading book.
