For a summer of WILD READS! at Massachusetts libraries in 2008...
GATHER 'ROUND THE CAMPFIRE!
Songs & Stories with Steve Blunt
This program of original and traditional material is as wild as the north woods and more fun than burnt marshmallows and smoke in your eyes! Steve has put together a special show for Massachusetts libraries in 2008... with plenty of sing-along, laugh-a-lot, move-around fun for kids of all ages. Selections include:
"Wild Reads!"
An original tune promoting the library as a natural habitat for book-loving beasts of all kinds.
Free mp3 download
"The Freedom Bird"
A Thai folktale about a wild golden bird who overcomes even the most intrepid of human predators.
Camp Songs
A variety of traditional animal-themed sing-along favorites, such as "The Skunk Song," "Iga Flyga Flega Flyga," "Away Up There," etc.
"Fanga Alafea"
A Liberian welcome chant that has been passed around campfires for hundreds of years... with hands-on drums and percussion drums for all.
Booktalks
Quick, upbeat booktalks-in-verse for theme-related selections. Possible titles include The Boy who was Raised by Librarians by Carla Morris/illustrated by Brad Sneed and Wild About Books by Judy Sierra/illustrated by Marc Brown.
