ACHOO! Dot pops off Pip's hat and the hide-and-seek begins. Is Dot in the bag? Under the blanket? On the bell? Read, sing, look, point and listen as Pip searches the Music Room, and find Dot every time, before Pip does. A hide-and-seek story with a little song for every hunt, about the little words that tell us where.
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.
