The greatest ever collection of action songs for little children!Everything from the sizzling Ten fat sausages to the hilarious No laugh race with all manner of toe tapping, hand clapping, nose wiggling, wriggling and giggling in between. Every early years setting and primary school should have one.The collection is in the familiar songbook format with sturdy wire-o binding to keep the book open at the song you're singing. Each song has a simple piano accompaniment and guitar chords and the words are brought to life by illustrator David McKee's wonderfully comical little people, performing all the actions to show you how.Recordings of all the songs with backing tracks are available separately on CD.

Roald Dahl's Jack and the beanstalk, the musical, has Jack (definitely whiffy) and the friendly farm animals defying the Giant's phenomenal sniffing powers and Jack's greedy mother to come out triumphantly rich – and squeaky clean.As well as starring roles for Jack, his mum, and the Giant, there are dozens of parts for farm animals and market traders – and everyone can sing in the chorus.Thousands of children have taken part in school performances of this riotously funny adaptation of Roald Dahl's irreverent twist on the traditional tale.As with every one of these great Roald Dahl musicals, Jack and the Beanstalk is based on an orchestral commission by the Roald Dahl Foundation. The concert work, from which the schools' musical is derived is by Gergs Pelecis, and schools can use the extracts provided from the orchestral work to enhance their performances.To present a public performance of this musical you will need a performance licence.
