The Book of Simple Songs & Circles

Simple songs and circle games have inspired wonder and laughter in infants and toddlers for generations, strengthening the bonds between children and the loved ones in their lives. This collection of folk or traditional songs is notated on the treble clef staff, with lyrics, and includes  3-tone songs, ball rolling songs, and songs to walk around a circle.

For generations, American folk culture's songs and rhymes have delighted children, creating a hushed wonder at playtime. No fireworks, no crazy musical arrangements, just adult and child connecting with rhymes and music. These treasures once were passed from parent or grandparent to child, yet in recent years, with changes in technology and family structure, they have been in danger of being lost and forgotten.
