Bella Bunny Wants to Sing!

On a quiet farm, deep in the faraway countryside, lived Mr. and Mrs. Bunny and their twelve children: Buffy, Bronx, Benjamin, Brinley, Barry, Bellamy, Bryant, Bracey, Beverly, Bowen, Beauregard, and Bella. Bella was the youngest in her family, and more than anything, she wanted to sing. Bella Bunny Wants to Sing is a great way to integrate music standards into English language arts standards for young readers. By utilizing countless Orff instruments to represent the various characters in the story, Bella Bunny Wants to Sing marries the melodies and rhythms of music with the patterns and rhymes of reading, enhancing the musical and literacy imaginations of young readers everywhere while promoting mastery of foundational reading and music skills.
