Personal Review: Where is Thumbkin?: 500 Activities to Use
with Songs You Already Know by Thomas Moore
I am a Pre-K/Kindergarten teacher who is also the mother of a three year-
old and a 2 month old. I use this book in and out of the classroom. It
combines traditional children's songs, rhymes and finger plays with
activities that cover all content areas. I try to buy books that are arranged
thematically and/or seasonally and this accomplishes both. I must admit I
love Pam Schiller. I also have her Creative Resources Book:A Complete

Childhood Curriculum( I think that is the title) Anyway, her books are so
thorough that lesson planning was made less of a chore. Now that I'm on
maternity leave my 3 yr. old and I use this book almost daily. Early
childhood educators should get this and her other books. I am working on
getting all of her books (I'm a bookrat). Also recommended Hang Loose
with Mother Goose by Dayle M. Timmons. She gives numerous activities
using many nursery rhymes including clip art. She also arranges them
under at least twenty early childhood themes eg. Little Miss Muffet and/or
The Itsey, Bitsey Spider and their activities could be taught as you teach
a learning unit on insects. This is a fun book.It has pocket chart activities,
mini-books, rebus activities and simple cooking activities.
