She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain (2006) Jonathan Emmett, Debirag Allwright


She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain (2006) Jonathan Emmett, Debirag Allwright

She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain is great fun! It's large enough for large storytime groups, colorful, and contains lots of potential for group participation. You might want to have the "responses" written on a chalkboard or poster so you and the other grown-ups can help the kids remember what order they go in (since they do build with each verse). Sometimes the pictures of the little girl are a bit small, but since the author is trying to give you a broad scope, this is somewhat expected. Great fun!
