Plenty to Sing and Ask About

My preschool-age boys have this book but we plan to buy a second copy to save because we all like it so much. The boys always ask to read and sing "Dinah!"-their name for the book because of the part in the song about Dinah, her kitchen, and blowing her horn. The illustrations are so interesting that my boys are as interested in the pictures as in the singing. When we finish singing, we often go back through the book and talk about all the wacky and wild stuff that is happening. Dinah's restaurant is truely a happening place and all the customers are thoroughly enjoying themselves as the food is flying around them! I definately recommend this fun book. A warning to you though: the song gets stuck in your head!

Sing while you check out Westcott's art!

Did you sing "I've been working on the railroad" as a kid? Now Westcott gives you a fun way to sing to your child as you enjoy her illustrations of a train trip from the city station through the 'burbs, farmland, and desert to Dinah's Cafe. Bright and upbeat!
