Helping to Raise Kind Kids, One Rhyme at a Time!​

My Review
I read the Volume 1 and enjoyed it a lot that I had to read this next Volume. A great collection of nursery rhymes. Yet they are not the ones that you grew up with. These rhymes are teaching lessons. 
At the end of each rhyme are various emoji like color coded emotions. So, as each rhyme teaches its lesson, there is a discussion afterwards to help young readers learn about various emotions. Not all are happy emotions and that is ok. As that is part of the lessons. So that children can learn it is ok to express different feelings. 
At the beginning of the book, you can scan a code to go to the website for this book to be able to play the read-a-longs that go with each story. An extra fun way to experience this book.

Author Pam Gittleman

Meet the Author:

Pam has been an early childhood music educator for over twenty-five years with a passion for singing, rhyming, reading stories, and making music with preschoolers.

When Pam noticed that some children seemed unfamiliar with traditional nursery rhymes, and that parents and teachers were avoiding them because of their outdated, dark, and inappropriate nature, she set out to update them. Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times®  provide a memorable way to build language, musicality, and literacy through songs, stories and rhymes that nurture kindness, empathy, and gratitude. The inclusion of resources that support social and emotional learning (SEL) make it easy for parents and teachers to engage with the children they love.

The rhymes in the book can also be enjoyed as songs on the "Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times" album recorded by Raffi and Lindsay Munroe, on the EP recorded by Laurie Berkner titled "Laurie Berkner Sings Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times" and in videos on the Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times® Show on YouTube. 

Pam has also made it her mission to share what she has learned about how to effectively integrate music and stories to support SEL and language skills in early childhood settings. She provides engaging and interactive sessions to early childhood teachers and caregivers to support their professional development and build their confidence in using music and rhymes with the children they care for.  She is also available for school visits.

Aside from sharing stories and songs with young children, Pam loves dogs and dark chocolate. She lives in New York with her husband, and loves when her children, grandchildren, and granddogs come to visit!
