Sing Out! has original illustrations, is rich in color and texture and offers an endearingly offbeat rendering of six cherished timeless folk songs featured in this book-CD: She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain, Little Bingo, This Old Man, Pop Goes the Weasel, I’ve Been Working on the Railroad and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Each one takes on a life of its own becoming a stand-alone story featuring several zany characters including an acrobatic pink-haired roller-skater girl, a straw hat-wearing unshaven hillbilly astronaut, a banjo-playing cow-loving weasel and a hard-working monkey who happens to love dumplings!
The picture book is accompanied by recordings of these popular sing-along songs for kids that highlight gifted singers and seasoned musicians, producing a fresh original sound for a new generation.

“It’s a great book for toddlers. It features 6 classic songs, remixed. The illustrations are fun and engaging. The characters travel through each story/song so it’s great to connect the dots. The music that goes with it are beautiful folk songs. We enjoyed listening to them even without the book.”
