Look Lively Rest Easy

Compiled by Helen East
one cassette with 32-page paperback, BOOK & TAPE, one cassette with 32-page paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle

Performed by multi-ethnic cast of adults and children. There's an enormous amount crammed into these 80 minutes: stories, tricks and rhymes to waken and quicken on the 'Look Lively' side, and much to relax and soothe on the 'Rest Easy' side. The attractive book has all the words and music with copious illustrations. The stories are told, not read, and the multicultural content is varied including a Gambian waking song, an Australian aboriginal sitting-down dance and scottish and Mexican lullabies. The musical instruments used are just as diverse - tin-can percussion, maracas, guitar and even a nightingale! There are notes and project guidance for teachers.
