CHILDREN'S LITERATURE - BOOKS TO SING

It's St. Patrick's Day!
Written by Rebecca Gomez
Illustrated by Mary Morgan
ISBN: 978-0-439-44160-5

Read the story (each verse told in rhyme) to the children inviting them to repeat the 1st phrase twice at the end of each 4-phrase passage.  Example:  "It's St. Patrick's Day!" (clap clap - 2 eighth notes) - "It's St. Patrick's Day!" (clap - quarter note)

The second time the story is retold, it can be sung to the melody of "The Grand Old Duke of York."  Add a simple rhythmic ostinato pattern after 2 4-phrase passages.

Enjoy the story and keep singing. :)
