Age: Toddler- 1st grade

Librarian Amadee Rickets rewords common tunes (BINGO, I'm a Little Teapot, Happy Birthday) to teach best practices for social-emotional engagement in the world. Feels familiar to the songs on Daniel Tiger that help younger children through common life situations that may cause negative feelings such as frustration, anger, fright, and positive feelings like making friends and being kind. These songs could easily be a staple in classrooms and storytimes. Highly recommend!

Themes include: Being gentle and kind, taking care of oneself, asking for help, feelings (anger, fright, thankfulness), making mistakes, being quiet or loud, circle time, inclusivity, and being a good friend.
