Children find song picture books engaging. The illustrations in these books provide concrete representations of concepts and vocabulary contained in the lyrics, making music easier to understand and enjoy.
          We heartily encourage you use song picture books teach children (and adult learners, too!) new concepts, words, and expressions.
