Ding, dang, dong! Nia is up first, and she has a bell. She rings Mitten the cat awake, plays peekaboo with Baby Ru, giggles at Dad's tractor snore and finds the sun on Grandma's pillow. Then it's stretches, toothbrushes and pancakes... but where is Brother John? He's been peeking all along. The morning round everyone knows, with a verse for every sleepyhead. Find John on every page.
Level 3 · Sing It Through
Longer verses, more to remember.
The child: Sings whole verses, follows a story, keeps counts and sequences, and can learn the tune on the keys.
The grown-up: Shares the singing. Try word mode and the melody view, or the Piano Path lesson for the tune.
