Great for some fun bridge building October 6, 2008
Linda Leigh Hargrove (North Carolina, USA)
"Shake it to the One That You Love the Best" is the full title of this short book of play songs and lullabies from the African American musical tradition.
It's a toe-tapping, hand-slapping, hip-shaking tribute to most any black little girl's growing-up days.
Complete with song origins, lyrics (with sheet music) and original art, this book can provide some fun cross cultural bridge-building moments with several generations of black American families, especially those that remember Miss Mary Mack and Little Sally Walker.
Listen. Learn. Love.

Linda Leigh Hargrove is the author of two works of fiction: The Making of Isaac Hunt (2007) and Loving Cee Cee Johnson (2008). Her writings blend suspense, humor, and faith into compelling stories about race and class in America.

I bought this book set when my son was only 18 months old. He's 14 now and he's completely unembarrassed to sing the songs from this book set. I was hoping this was available in cd format since the tape is all but worn out. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a simple way to connect with their young child. The songs are simple and fun to learn. You will definitely recognize some of the songs no matter what your age or ethnicity. More importantly, you and your child will enjoy the special time spent singing the songs and reading the book. My mother is a parenting teacher (for parents of infants and toddlers)and she regularly recommends this to her moms.

My children found this book and cassette at the library. We have renewed it twice and they have not tired of the little diddies.
My husband even remembers some of the little songs to which we girls jumped rope. I recommend this to everyone who wants & needs to remember what it was like to be a kid again.
