Customer Reviews

My daughter's favorite book so far (she's 4.5)

Fun book with a simple song. Took my wife and I awhile to get into it, but once you starting singing the book, it all makes sense. No fun to just read it any more.

Bling Blang

If you remember Woody Guthrie, or even if you don't, this is a must. What fun to sing along with this book... " Bling Blang, hammer with my hammer, Zing-o zang-o Cutting with my saw" The sheet music is even printed on the inside of the jacket! Although the collage pictures are not to my taste, the joy of having fun singing this with my baby more than compensates. Kids will probably enjoy the children's artwork at the end of the book more than I.

The Music is Great!!!

While this book does not come with the bonus CD that 'Howdi Do' does, it is a great book with wonderful illustrations. But do your child a favor and also purchase the 'Howdi Do' book, you will then get the music CD performed by Band of Weeds, giving a childish musical romp to three of Woody's wonderful songs, including "Bling Blang", by far one of my children's favorites.

Jamburee

This is my 3 year old son's favorite book. Our whole family sings and dances as we read it. My son knows the whole thing and loves to pretend he is hammering and sawing. Buy it, make up a tune, sing it, and enjoy!

A book to sing

As a children's librarian in a public library, I'm always on the lookout for a good storytime book. This one is just right for singing out loud together. As a follow-up activity, the group can draw a picture of themselves building a house. The only fault I find with this book is the sheet music has been placed on the reverse side of the book jacket. In a library the patrons cannot get to that part of the book as it will be covered up.
