Short Stories to Read Aloud and Sing Along - 30 Stories with Lyrics and Sheet Music

30 stories built around well-known folk songs

This read-aloud and sing-along book combines evocative short stories with well-known folk songs. The 30 stories cover various life themes, including love, friendship and family happiness. Matching song verses are woven into each story and invite listeners to sing along afterwards.

Reading, listening and singing together

Each story can be read aloud and complemented by the matching folk song. Complete lyrics and sheet music are included for every song, making the book suitable both for pure read-aloud sessions and for singing together.

Well-known songs in an easy-to-sing key

The songs are deliberately set a little lower to make singing along easier. No musical experience is required.

For seniors and people with dementia

The combination of stories and familiar folk songs is suitable as an activity offer for seniors and people with dementia. The texts and songs can invite listening, singing along and shared conversation.

For read-aloud and reminiscence sessions

The book is suitable for use at home as well as in care and support facilities. It can be used by family members, carers or in groups.
