Review Quotes: Lyrics to the tune of "Are You Sleeping" help children remember the difference between living and nonliving things. A link to hear the song is an added bonus when purchasing the book. I have listened to it and it is well done. http: //www.teachingkidsbooks.com/k-2nd-grade/living-and-non-living-things-- "Teaching with Kids' Books blog"
