Book of the week: Farmyard Beat






Farmyard Beat by Lindsey Craig has been a favorite of both of my children since they could sign for "more" and/or "again". This book has a great pattern base with rhythmic flow that has toddlers singing to it and babies clapping that beat. This is one book my Mother-in-law refuses to read to my daughter because she doesn't sing this book and my daughter argues that she is not reading the book the right way. Singing this book makes it so magical, but it still has educational value and merit if you choose not to.

I found a video on youtube of first graders singing this book:
