Hand, Hand, Finger, Thumb; and H.C. Lumbye's "Copenhagen Steam Railway Galop"
Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb by Al Perkins is a great book for little ones. They'll love drumming along as you read the book to them! With bright pictures, funny looking monkeys, a fun rhyming pattern, and fun-to-say words, this book is absolutely captivating for younger audiences and adults alike! The Boy loves drumming his hands with me as I recite "drum ditty, drum ditty, drum drum drum!" This book is great for getting little hands in motion, working with rhythm.
