The Neighborhood Sing-Along
Nina Crews. Greenwillow, $17.99 (64p) ISBN 978-0-06-185063-9
As with The Neighborhood Mother Goose, Crews pairs traditional songs and nursery rhymes with vibrant photographs and digital collages of children in a fresh urban setting. A boy plays with a toy train while waiting with his mother on a subway platform on a spread that displays the lyrics to "I've Been Working on the Railroad"; three tiny children play near an enormous ceramic teapot for "I'm a Little Teapot"; and a young "Miss Mary Mack" (wearing the requisite black dress with silver buttons) watches elephants fly amid Fourth of July fireworks. A jubilant and contemporary treatment of well-known classics. Ages 3%E2%80%938. (May)
