Tormont Nursery Songs and Sing Alongs

One of my toddler's most used and well-loved books is Tormont's Nursery Songs and Sing Alongs. This colorful board book comes with its own electronic keyboard with color coded keys. The book features popular nursery songs. Each page contains a song complete with picture, lyrics, and colored notes for easy matching with the keyboard keys. This is a great way for parents to bond with their babies and teach them their first songs. Eventually, the children will be able to sing and play the tunes on their own. My toddler is now able to sing the pieces, though her piano playing is still limited to banging the keys at random. I'm sure she'll eventually manage to match the keys and notes (in due time) - I can certainly imagine her using this book throughout her preschool years.

Songs included in the book are Hush Little Baby, Pat-a-Cake, The Alphabet Song, Ten in the Bed,  The Wheels on the Bus, If You're Happy and You Know It, Oh! Susanna, The Bear Went over the Mountain, Eensy Weensy Spider, and The Ants Go Marching.
