Books to Sing or Chant

Complied by Sharla Dance
1991, revised 1995, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001
(*indicates that music is printed in the book)

Singing a book:  Not all books were written with a tune to the poetry, but Sharla Dance has gone through thousands of books and found those with poetry that can go to a tune familiar to children. 

ISBN--this number is very important because these "singable" books are specific books picked to be sung to.  That does not mean that a book with the same title, same words can not be sung, it is just that the Sharla Dance picked this books for the pictures, word layout and the music printed in the book (if available).  The publication information is valuable in finding the exact book.
