Roses are red,

A book is a friend,
And so are you!

Adventures so bright,
Reading together
Feels just right!

And a book just for fun—
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Who Sang the First Song?
Author: Ellie Holcomb
Illustrator: Kayla Harren
Publisher: B&H Kids, 2018
ISBN:
978-1462794454
Reading Level: 1-4 years

Genre/Theme/Style: Children's Literature, Non-Fiction, Exploration, Creativity, Origin of Music, Christian Values, and Board Book.

"Did the sun sing a song as it colored the sky?"
~~Who Sang the First Song?

I Gave This Book 5 Roars! 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

Why 5 Roars? Who Sang the First Song fascinates young readers with its exploration of 
inspiration and the origins of music. The poetic narrative and imaginative storytelling earn it five enthusiastic roars. 

It has a style that I really enjoyed, and kids are fascinated with the question the book is asking. Young readers might ask another hundred and one questions after you read it; be prepared!

Critical Analysis: This book is great for young readers that love music. The author's poetic prose and the illustrator’s vivid illustrations create a joyful mood, making it an engaging read for children. The narrative not only entertains but also subtly imparts valuable lessons about the beauty of creativity and self-expression and answers the question for Christian readers, “Who sang the first song?”


Appeal: This book's appeal lies in its ability to easily blend storytelling with an exploration of music's origins. The language and beautiful illustrations really make it appropriate for a wide audience. Parents, grandparents, and educators will appreciate its musical value and the positive messages it conveys.

Poetry Friday!



Peace, Love, Joy, & Christmas Books

Open a book, hear the sleigh bells ring,

As characters laugh and carolers sing.

Frosty and Rudolph, on snowy grounds,

Tell stories of joy that echo all around. 


Snowmen with top hats, and 

gingerbread men too,

All come alive in a story or two.

Fairy tales twinkle like stars in the night,

As we dream of worlds filled with cheerful delight. 


In a cozy nook by the fireplace bright,

A tale unfolds on this enchanted night.

With twinkling lights and the tree so tall,

We descend into a world of books for all!







Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays!
