Book and CD set
It's a story, it's a song, and it's a dance. "Friends" is a delightful picture book with a sound track.

"A clown went walking on a sunny day, looking for a friend who wanted to play..."

The clown meets a friends, they dance and play together. The following verses involve bunnies and dragons in the fun.

This charming singing-and-movement story is brought to life by Mark Jensen's illustrations. Read it, sing it, and dance it. Then the next time your children read the book they will know many of the words having been thoroughly involved in the story. This is a great support to early reading skills.

Fourteen ensembles for frame drums, some with speech or other instruments are graded for grades 1 - 8. All selections include teaching process and extension possibilities.
