Kindie Land: W Is for Wapiti An Alphabet Songbook

Here at ChiIL Mama, The Secret Mountain has been a favorite of ours for years!    Their multicultural, high quality children's book and CD pairings will be a keepsake for your family for generations.      Check out the first reviews/give aways we ever did for The Secret Mountain right here.    The Little Blue Doggie Swing Cafe Even though they're early childhood books, my 9 & 11 year old kids still fondly remember the songs and are saving the books in case they have children of their own some day!   We give away zillions of outgrown story books, but we have a box of "keepers" in the attic where all the favorites go, and The Secret Mountain books/CDs always make the cut.    Hopefully by the time my kids have kids we'll be able to find an "antique" CD player! The Secret Mountain has done it again, with another awesomely creative release, W is for Wapiti! New Release for September 2012 The Secret Mountain Makes Learning the Alphabet More Fun with a new songbook and CD  W Is for Wapiti An Alphabet Songbook Listen Now! Colorfully illustrated hardbound story book includes a CD featuring 25 original whimsical, language-building songs The Secret Mountain brings the fun back to the alphabet by addressing the sound of each letter, from A to Z, through amusing and lively songs. Each page of the colorfully illustrated songbook features a whimsical way to look at each letter, from “A is for Aha! Aha!” to “Z is for zoom through it because our song’s already through.” Pre-­‐readers and early readers alike will enjoy thinking about the letters and words. The songs are simply worded for these emerging readers, but there’s plenty here to challenge those who want to learn more sophisticated words like “M is for my marmot and me” and “R is for rambunctious rascals making a racket.” The title song, “W is for Wapiti,” is accompanied by a picture of a humongous beast stalking a hunter through the forest. It’s quite a turnabout! The last song, “Let’s Sing It Again,” will ensure that early readers and careful listeners become ABC experts "Mister Elephant," a song from  W Is for Wapiti, new from The Secret Mountain in September.
