'I find the Lyrics excellent from a Literacy aspect and incorporate them into my library lessons whenever I can. It is so much fun and the children love it! They used to ask why we were singing in library. I explained to them that we’re reading POETRY, and can learn a great deal from studying the lyrics. This has proven to be true. Their reading has greatly improved and they just love singing along with the songs. Most importantly, I love it so this, in turn, enthuses them!!'
