This rhythmic I-spy journey to school through various landscapes is the perfect introduction to colours, modes of transport, and of course, music! The jaunty text, Siobhan Bell's colourful hand-stitched illustrations and the accompanying music by popular singer Fred Penner are sure to get children singing along happily. The I-Spy theme encourages reader/listener interaction, while the cumulative, repetitive text helps build sequencing skills. Ideal for read-aloud and music and movement activities. A QR code on the book provides access to video animation and audio.
