Helping to Raise Kind Kids, One Rhyme at a Time!
Children's books are an important part of a Young Child's life. I enjoy reading with and to young children. My boys are now grown, but I read to Children at Church and my young Great Nieces. Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times Volume 2 by Pam Gittleman is the most recent book that I had the honor and privilege of sharing with Little Ones.
WOW, I can honestly say I truly enjoyed this book from the very beginning. The Nursery Rhymes are ones that I am familiar with and enjoyed as a child. I LOVE how the author takes it to another level with changing parts of the Nursery Rhymes to words that help the Children understand emotions. The pages also contain emoji emotions for the Children to select which emotion the Nursery Rhyme was expressing. The Illustrations are BEAUTIFUL and AMAZINGLY colorful. I really think this is important as it grasps the little ones attention while being read to. I also really LOVE the use of QR codes in this book so that Parent and Child can follow along via audio and/or find additional resources that go along with the book. I am QUITE amazed at how wonderful this book is! I HIGHLY recommend this "reinvented" Nursery Rhyme book for Toddler Age and Preschool Kids and Parents! GREAT BOOK!
Pam has been an early childhood music educator for over twenty-five years with a passion for singing, rhyming, reading stories, and making music with preschoolers.
When Pam noticed that some children seemed unfamiliar with traditional nursery rhymes, and that parents and teachers were avoiding them because of their outdated, dark, and inappropriate nature, she set out to update them. Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times® provide a memorable way to build language, musicality, and literacy through songs, stories and rhymes that nurture kindness, empathy, and gratitude. The inclusion of resources that support social and emotional learning (SEL) make it easy for parents and teachers to engage with the children they love.
The rhymes in the book can also be enjoyed as songs on the "Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times" album recorded by Raffi and Lindsay Munroe, on the EP recorded by Laurie Berkner titled "Laurie Berkner Sings Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times" and in videos on the Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times® Show on YouTube.
Pam has also made it her mission to share what she has learned about how to effectively integrate music and stories to support SEL and language skills in early childhood settings. She provides engaging and interactive sessions to early childhood teachers and caregivers to support their professional development and build their confidence in using music and rhymes with the children they care for. She is also available for school visits.
Aside from sharing stories and songs with young children, Pam loves dogs and dark chocolate. She lives in New York with her husband, and loves when her children, grandchildren, and granddogs come to visit!
