For kids with expressive language delays, this is ripe for participation animal sounds are easier to approximate. Luke loves participating in this part the best, and touches his finger to each line as he makes the sounds.

The engineer makes stops along the way to the zoo and picks up the baby animals from their parents. Hillenbrand's interpretation is a children's zoo train. So when I saw this book at the library, I snatched it quickly.

I think Luke, who is obsessed with trains, has watched a dozen versions of this song on various YouTube Kids channels. HMH Books for Young Readers (2002) paperback, $7.99 Fine with me-that's three read-throughs! 3) Down by the Station by Will Hillenbrand Now, when we read this book we must first "say" it, then I sing it, and then he sings it. This formulation worked magically for Luke, but naturally developed into something of a rigid routine.

An instrumental version of the song so the child can try singing by themselves.

Ringo Starr reading the lyrics with a piano key tone indicating when to turn the page.

I didn't think I would use the CD that came with the book, but it was such a hit! There are 3 tracks: My kids like this element, but others will find it too distracting. Some pages are portrait and others landscape, so you have to turn the book as you go, which adds to the multi-sensory experience (and I suspect is meant to give you a deep-ocean feeling of discombobulation). Luckily, I've been getting my fix with Ringo Starr's picture book based on Octopus's Garden.īen Cort has created a lovely, jewel-toned ocean landscape that five diverse kids delightedly explore. I really wanted my kids to fall in love with the Netflix show, Beat Bugs, because I'm a huge Beatles fan, but, alas, it didn't hook them. Luke also easily caught on to the repetition of the line "What a wonderful world" and especially enjoyed the page filled with hearts for the lyric "I love you." 2) Octopus's Garden by Ringo Starr, Illustrations by Ben CortĪladdin (2014) hardcover/CD edition, $17.99 Kids with autism usually learn to label colors in their first teaching programs, so color language becomes highly reinforcing. There is also both a " bright blessed day," and a " dark sacred night." My son Luke was excited to point to these color elements and label them. There are "trees of green, " red roses," "skies of blue," "clouds of white," and rainbows.

If you think about it, What a Wonderful World has always been a song about colors and light. All that's needed to complete the spell is an adult to do their best Louis Armstrong impression. The illustrations, which beautifully and literally realize the well-known lyrics in a fun, retro style, set a happy tone. It is impossible not to feel the purest joy that radiates from this book. 1) What a Wonderful World song by Bob Thiele and George David, Illustrations by Tim Hopgood If they love the video or music track first it will help them to access the book later. I'd encourage parents to give kids who are particularly hard to engage access to a video or audio clip of the song first. Some of the picture books in this list are based on songs that your child may already know from YouTube videos or school. My son Luke, who has a lot of challenges with joint attention and distractibility, benefits from many multisensory approaches to books, but he particularly responds to singalong books (once they are familiar). As a parent of 5-year-old twins with autism, I've developed a huge collection of books in this category. Books that you can sing along to are often the best choices for kids who really struggle with storytime.
