“The book is engaging as a read-aloud about an intergenerational relationship or as an introduction to the country.”

Hello Everyone!

This is our NEW feature, BookWormz, where we review and post about muti-cultural books that embrace our spirit of diversity and unity.  We hope you enjoy these favorites as much as we do!

Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush

Sing Along with Fred Penner as you follow four children from different countries, each getting ready for school. See what the pictures tell you about different ways of life in Europe, Mali, India, and China.

“In this cheerful picture book with an accompanying CD, four children in different cultures act out the revised words to a traditional song, ‘Here We Go round the Mulberry Bush’ … Brimming with activity and color, the stylized acrylic paintings make each setting look different and inviting … Slipped into a plastic pocket on the endpapers, the CD features Canadian musician Fred Penner singing the new words. Appended notes introduce the old song and the accompanying movements. An upbeat way to introduce the notion that people around the world are different yet have much in common.”
- Booklist

“This multicultural treat will encourage creative movement as well as creativity in inventing other verses for preschoolers.”
- School Library Journal
