finleysmaid Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 i have a group at the moment who love stories with a really good beat. but i'm looking for more titles. can you recommend any? so far done things like bear hunt green eggs and ham room on the broom tanka tanka skunk plus some others that i just cant think of ...but im sure you get the sort of idea. they particularly like the ones they can fill in the end rhyme to - like green eggs and ham (i would not eat them in a box i would not eat them with a fox etc!) not too complicated or too long (i have a lot with eal and additional needs) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? Cow's in the Kitchen Jim books- Need a Trim Jim, Pass the Jam Jim, Swim Jim. But I think with those, it's how you read them that determines the beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargrower Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 There's one called The Train Ride that is written in the rhythm of a moving train. It has a repetitive refrain "What do you see? What do you see?" that children find easy to pick up. Sorry can't remember who its by. Beehive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inge Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Not like that like this The train ride Little rabbit foo foo. This one is on u tube and can be sung.. the children used to love it. duck in the truck (this caused hilarity in our setting as people read - one with a London accent and other with a Brum one.! ) This is the bear still thinking...

Rea Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I like the Teddy bear ones, cant remember what they're called. Eddy's teddy Freddy. Snick, snaff, sniffle nose, clip clop troll is great, really holds the children. George and the dragon, can also be bought with a CD story read by Brian Blessed.
