Description
Down by the Bay is a sing-along style baby board book that is one in Raffi’s ‘Songs to Read’ collection. Down by the Bay is a somewhat well-known and well-loved book. For those of you that may be unfamiliar with this classic singalong tale, it’s a fun sing-along story about silly, unlikely events that happen down by the bay. Here’s some text from the book, to give you an idea of the story and tune:
Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home I dare not go.
For if I do my mother will say,
“Did you ever see a goose kissing a moose, Down by the bay?”
Down by the Bay is a 32-page board book with the following dimensions that make it the perfect size for little hands: 5.2 x 0.7 x 6.8 inches.
Designed for children ages 0-4 years old.
Why we like it at Happy Little Tadpole:
Unlike other songbooks that I may skip on purpose due to horrible tunes getting stuck in my head, Down by the Bay is a tune I don’t mind reading or singing. I find it to be a fun tune that I hope to pass on to my own children one day. Singing helps little ones develop speech and listening skills, making Down by the Bay a great singalong book for the youngest of listeners. We think this book would make a great add-on gift for baby showers and birthdays for little ones ages 0-4 years young.
Gift Pairing Idea: Pair the Down By the Bay Board Book with a Best of Raffi Audio CD for a Raffi Singalong gift set perfect for families with young children.
