What kinds of instruments would you imagine a band of cowboys playing? Surely nothing fancy, but they can still make…
do with what they have, like jugs, combs, boots, and whatever else they can find. Out on the open range, with no one to tell them to quit their hollerin', a cowboy band counts from ten to one in a tune children are familiar with. Silly phrases, toe-tapping rhythms, and the occasional twist make these cowpokes a great addition to any story time or bedtime lineup.Featuring a ragtag group of cowboys from author Tamera Will Wissinger, and colorful, offbeat illustrations by Matt Loveridge, This Old Band is sure to delight (and teach kids a few things about counting and noises) children and adults alike with a fun take on a popular nursery rhyme. A fun read-aloud for preschoolers and kindergarteners (ages 3 to 6), children will learn about various unusual instruments while learning the important skill of counting down from 10 to 1. Each page shows the number of band members that correspond with the number in the verse. Kids will be able to count them and also find hidden creatures throughout, making this an interactive story for bedtime, school, or anywhere. If parents or teachers are familiar with "This Old Man," they can even sing the book and teach it to their children for added interactive fun.By Lois Lenski. 2001

late mother, Milagro Navarro, a fearless horse-riding stunt performer. Like her mother, Lucky isn&’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions.

She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone and Pru Granger. When a heartless horse wrangler plots to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom, a sense of purpose, and who has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother&’s legacy.

Even students who are not at the level represented in this book can be moved forward in reading competency by reading along as Jim speaks the words. Say the words. The final element in language learning is to speak great words and sentences out loud. The has been turned into a short, accessible dramatic version that can be performed by two or more actors. The plays can be memorized or read from the scripts; either way, students will begin to gain confidence in their own language use and in their ability to speak in front of others.By John Stadler. 1989
