Ms. Ida's birthday is tomorrow, and the old block song is lost. The Mixtape Crew heads to the community center's back room and meets the Old Tech Club: Floppy saves, Beep loads, Vee plays it back and Snap catches every smile. A read-aloud story with a song to save and a song to find, about teamwork, waiting and the songs we keep, for kids and the grown-ups who remember.
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.
