Rumble sings hello to Dino Valley, and the valley sings it right back. Big hello, tiny hello, high, low, fast and slow: every hello comes back exactly the same. Who keeps copying? (Look behind that fern...) A read-aloud story with a call-and-response hello song to sing and echo, for every child who is learning to listen, to copy, to wait, and then to take a turn and call.
Level 1 · First Songs
Listen, move, and join in with a sound.
The child: Listens, moves, claps or taps, and joins in with a sound, a word or a sign when the song stops for them.
The grown-up: Sings most of it. Pauses before the word that comes back so the child can fill it in, any way they can.
