Once Upon a Tune  |  Wendy Bennett

Mix a little Dr. Seuss with some Brothers Grimm and a dollop of Maurice Sendak and what do you get? A delicious musical treat guaranteed to whet the appetites of young readers. Drawing from such classics as Green Eggs and Ham, Little Red Riding Hood and Oh, the Thinks you Can Think, Wendy creates delightful vocal vignettes with style and charm. She shows students how to use the tools of the actor’s trade—voice, gestures and facial expressions—to “sell” a song and gets students to help her create a rainstorm, show her puppet pal Johnny how to sing his one note and sing a book together.
