A Treasure Trove of Songs
We have heard most of these songs since the release of the Nursery Days LP in 1958-favorites such as "Put Your Finger in the Air," "Riding in my Car" and "Jiggy Jiggy Bum" ("Jig A-long Home") but this book was lost for forty years and had been unavailable before 1992. With original illustrations by Woody himself, musical notation and guitar chords this book is a treasure trove to anyone who wishes to sing and play these songs and to all Woody Guthrie fans. It is also a marvelous example of multi-modal artistry which can inspire creativity in all who view it. The children at the school where I teach love singing the songs, reading the lyrics and looking at the pictures.
There are two CDs on which one may hear these songs-the original Nursery Days CD features Woody performing them solo while the Woody's 20 Grow Big Songs CD features Woody, with added vocals by Arlo and the Guthrie family.
