About Sing-a-Books
 
Sing-a-Books have catchy rhymes. The predictable patterns
and repetition create a  natural reading practise for young readers.
Musical  reading makes learning fun and encourages the reader
to practise the stories out loud. 
 
The lively illustrations enhance
meaning and foster the imagination. 
 
Using enticing music and rhyming stories
is a fun way to hook children on reading.
LuLu and the TomCat’s Sing-a-Books
are designed to challenge children
while showing them just how fun reading can be.
Classic and original children's poems and stories
are set to music to draw children into the
magical world of reading.
Adorable pictures keep young readers focused and 
involved. All seven stories are available on their 
companion CD, “Stick To It!” as musical audio books.
 
Turn off the TV and engage your mind on your next road
trip with LuLu and the TomCat Sing-a-Books
for the whole family to enjoy! It’s a fun and exciting way to learn!
