Music Fun Facts:
Teach children the clave rhythm, the fundamental underlying rhythm in all Latin Music (2/3 or 3/2 clave). You could also explore the history of the bossa nova and its Brazilian origin, the composer Jobim, and Brazilian culture in general. The whistling adds a lighthearted touch to this song, and children might try to whistle along. Research Brazilian percussion instruments, many of which children might enjoy making. Originally a English nursery rhyme, this song refers to the rivalry between England and Spain in the sixteenth century. Spain's ships were defeated by the British, in part due to a storm.
Reviews:
"Another book CD combo set from the Tangled Tunes series that is also very highly recommended is 'Rain, Rain, Go Away (978632903600, $25.49),' by Steven Anderson, illustrated by Misa Saburi. This book introduces that familiar nursery rhyme song as follows: 'On rainy days you get stuck inside. You can't go out to play. And there are so many fun things to do outside. Sometimes, don't you wish you could tell the rain to go away and it would? To try doing that, turn the page and sing along!' Contrasting sunny and rainy paintings compare the day's different moods and activities, including mother, father, brother, sister, friends, and pets. 'Rain, Rain, Go Away' ends with a page of complete song lyrics, a vocal piano song score, an accompanying CD performance of the song, guided reading activities, and a To Learn More section listing related books for children ages 3-8." ~ Midwest Book Review's MBR: Book Watch, May 2016
