Child's Play: Introducing Music and Literacy through Picture Books
provides students with a wide variety of picture book suggestions
to enrich childhood education programs and curriculum. The literacy
components within each picture book support children's development
of speaking, reading or viewing, listening, writing, and movement.
Music components build children's recognition and understanding of
dynamics, form, melody, rhythm, style, texture, and timbre or tone
color. The picture book suggestions reflect diverse authors,
illustrators, story characters, and contexts, and are organized
into five distinct themes: animals, people, movement, objects, and
mindfulness. Each chapter is further divided into five separate
ages and developmental stages, offering recommendations for
infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers/pre-kindergarteners,
kindergarteners, and early elementary school students. Readers are
provided with learning objectives and activity suggestions for each
picture book, encouraging future and practicing educators and
providers to engage their students and help develop their literacy
and music skills. Featuring kid-tested, teacher-approved picture
book references, Child's Play is an ideal supplementary resource
for courses and programs in childhood education and development.
