The Baby Chicks is a popular song in many Spanish-speaking countries and many adults have childhood memories of their grandmothers singing this song to them. In this beautifully illustrated book the artist used watercolors for the hen and her little chicks, and then created a collage for every page. The rough edges and transparent colors add depth and movement, so it's easy to imagine scooping up one of the fluffy chicks and hearing its little song. The orchestra arrangement, especially the introduction and bridge, brings to mind the sound of baby chicks moving around the yard. These lovable chicks give their wings a try in the Musicmap section: when children hear the oboe playing the melody, they love to follow the chicks in time with the music. You will find the lyrics in both English and Spanish, with an English pronunciation at the back of the book.
Burung Kakatua is a folk song from Indonesia about the cockatoo (kakatua) and the village grandmother who listens to it sing. The book is illustrated with photographs of three-dimensional compositions formed of clay. You will be charmed by the beautiful cockatoo and surprised by the lifelike expressions on the grandmother's face as the bird serenades her. Sing along with the children you hear on the CD -- one from the United States singing in English and one from Indonesia singing the original lyrics. Hear the sound of the drum during the chorus ("tredung") and the call of the cockatoo during the flute solo. Relax and let the wind carry you with the birds on the Musicmap pages, freely making music for all to enjoy.
