Hot cross buns! Ana and Pia spend the morning in Baker Sol's bakery: mix the flour, pat the dough, wait for the oven to ding, count the buns and share them with everyone. Then play the song yourself, on just three notes. Find the little ladybug on every page.
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.
