"Ever since Bailey White began telling her stories on National Public Radio's All Things Considered in the summer of 1990, the letters and phone calls have been pouring in. 'I just gotta get more of Bailey white,' one listener wrote. Another told us: 'Bailey White is a national treasure, a Southern find.... She leave me laughing out loud. Please, ' she finished, 'Tell me how I can get a tape of her NPR broadcasts.' At last, it is here. A collection of the South Georgia school teacher's finest essays."

Picture book version of Raffi's song of the same name from "More Singable Songs". Book illustrates the first verse of the recording. Includes music and words to the other verses of the song. "This Song to Read is a natural bridge between singing and reading. Once children know a song, they find it's fun and easy to follow it in pictures and in words."
