My Son John

- by Jim Aylesworth - Woodcuts by David Frampton (Ed.: Henry Holt and Company - New York)

This book contains every verse of "My Son John", a song from the "Jingle Bells" collection. One beautiful color woodcut for each verse graces every page. The song describes the activities people usually carry out in a ranch, starting with early morning activities and ending with John going to bed at the end of the day. As you progress through the song, the pattern becomes obvious: - two words that have a relationship with the activity of the person - "my son" or "my daughter" followed by a name - the action or the activity of the person named above - a complement of information on the activity — how, where,... - repetition of the two first phrases ending with the name of the child.

After seeing the success that the book had in their houses, parents have built verses on the same pattern, to fit their child's name and prefered activity. It's easy, anybody can do it, and children love it.

In short, "My Son John" encourages creativity and the personalization of songs that is so important — MUSIC TOGETHER's principles applied. A book that guarantees endless hours of fun and enrichment for your children!
