Three Singing Pigs and Three Rapping Rats have won plaudits and prizes for publishers A amp; C Black (including a TES Schoolbook Award in 1999) and brought musical pleasure to primary children. Now Three Tapping Teddies (pound;9.99) offers similar delights to children at the Foundation stage,and gives young learners opportunities for speaking, singing, playing, improvising, and dancing. The Noah rap or the Cinderella orchestra gently bring in the elements of musical language, presented in such a way that pleasure and understanding go hand in hand.
