**********************
My daughter and I particularly enjoyed this book on our 2012 summer vacation, sitting on the hotel bed, picking a new song each night. It was fun to read Ms. Loeb’s sweet song set-ups about how she came to sing the camp songs or what she was thinking when she wrote the original songs. Some of the songs have movements to go with them, some suggest activities and even a snack recipe that’s making me look forward to toasting coconut. The illustrations by Ryan O’Rourke suggest the fun of lemonade stands and county fairs that exist only in our most ideal memories in a rainbow of muted colors. My daughter and I will be pouring over this one for a long time to come. I’ll also enjoy extracting a couple of these songs for the “Girl Scout Songs for Troop 2740” project.
