My dd just loves books that are meant to be sung. I have found a few, but could anyone recommend a few more? Thanks!

Here's what we already have:

Skip to my Lou
Jingle Bells
The farmer in the dell
I Knew an old Woman who Swallowed a Fly
Old Black Fly
Hush Little Baby (Sylvia Long)
Twinkle Little Star
There's a Hole in the Bucket

Raffi has a few books: Wheels on the bus, and Baby beluga off the top of my head. We have a version of an Itsy Bitsy Spider book but I can't find it right now to give you author/illustrator, sorry. We also have a Hush Little Baby book.

The first one I thought of was 'Snuggle Puppy' by Sandra Boynton. DD loves it.

 

[annexk8]

Our favorite is "Albuquerque Turkey" (sung to the tune of Oh my Darlin' Clementine")

 

[Maggie'sMomma]

Any of the Sandra Boynton books! These are some of our favorites! Snuggle Puppy and Belly Button are two of our very faves. They are all available in the board books. She also has book/cd combos- we have all 3 and they are great- Philidelphia Chickens, Rhinocerous Tap, and Dog Train. They come w/ the music cd's and a book that has the words in the first half and then the music in the second half. The cd's are in the car and we spin them up and jam out all the time.

We have We All SIng with the Same Voice because I remember it from Seasame Street when I was young.

When I looked it up on Amazon, tons of books come up in the "also bought' list like My Favorite Things, What a Wonderful World and This Land Is Your Land.

ETA: I am not a Boynton fan, but Personal Penguin and the recording of it by Davy Jones cracks me up:

We like Somewhere In The Ocean.

"If You Were My Bunny" is great, it takes several traditional bedtime rhymes and puts them to new words, sung from an animal's perspective.

Iza Trapani has a cute Itsy Bitsy Spider book, as well as many other "song" story books. We have enjoyed Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Baa Baa Black Sheep by the same author.

These two books have quite a bit of singing:

5 Little Ducks is a favorite here!

 

[ryleigh'smama]

We just got a beautiful "Puff the Magic Dragon" book that dd loves. I second the Raffi books, we have "Baby Beluga", "Five Little Ducks", and "The Wheels on the Bus". We also have "Miss Mary Mack", and one of dd's all time favorites was a "I'm a Little Teapot" book.

"Over in the Meadow" is a sweet counting book. The version I have isn't available in board book format, but I believe there are some that are. I have the one illustrated by Anna Vojtech.

We also love the Boyton books and Baby Beluga. If I try to read instead of sing Baby Beluga DS makes the music sign to me.

 

[Bellejar]

We love Animal Boogie don't remember who the author is... There are also all of the Carol King/Maurice Sendak books Piere and Chicken Soup with rice. We love the whole album Really Rosie.

A, You're Adorable -an old 30's tune

My Favorite Things --sound of music tune

 

[peachpie]

My dd loves Abiyoyo and also Pete Seeger's Stone Soup. They aren't entirely sung but the song comes in multiple times throughout the story (and they come with recordings).

 

[flapjack]

Brian Froud did a beautiful illustration of Chelsea Morning. My copy came with a CD in the back as well.

 

[P-chan]

Try "Hello Hello" by Dan Zanes. It comes with a CD with 4 other songs on it, and is a great introduction to Dan Zanes if you don't already know him (think child-accessible folk music, not plinky-dinky kids' music).

 

[mighty-mama]

another Raffi fan here.. DS loves Baby Beluga.
