First, it selects nearly 80 children's songs widely sung in English-speaking countries, with beautiful and melodious yet relatively simple melodies, making them very suitable for children to learn and sing. Most mothers will find that their children learn songs quickly, sometimes even humming along after hearing a commercial song a few times. In fact, the songs are highly infectious for children. Learning English through English nursery rhymes will not make them feel bored, thus preventing them from rejecting the learning process. It allows children to unconsciously memorize many English words and learn some cultural knowledge of the English-speaking countries mentioned in the songs.
Second, this collection includes classic nursery rhymes, some of which are also familiar to Chinese children, such as: London Bridge, The Alphabet Song, Uncle McDonald Had a Farm, Ten Little Indians, and more. Through learning these songs, children broaden their horizons and enhance their interest in communicating with foreign children. Most importantly, all the English songs in this collection are recorded in the United States and performed by the famous children's choir Harmony from MichiganState. The singing is exceptionally beautiful, and even for entertainment, it is a delightful experience. Compared to children's songs sung by adults, those sung by children sound crisper and more pleasant, with clearer pronunciation, making them even more suitable for children to learn. Moreover, imitating the pronunciation of children in English-speaking countries from a young age will make your child's English more authentic and natural. Just think about it—by owning this set, you are essentially finding a group of American playmates for your child.
This New Oriental English Song set is divided into three volumes: Golden Childhood, My Animal Friends, and Mom's Songs—Lullabies, each accompanied by a cassette tape. The book includes Chinese translations of each nursery rhyme, annotations and explanations for more challenging vocabulary, and beautiful illustrations. Among them, the melodies in Mom's Songs—Lullabies are soft and gentle, not only calming babies but also allowing mothers to sing along. Of course, if you ask your child to learn, how can you not set an example yourself? Moreover, singing English lullabies to soothe your baby to sleep is also a wonderful and beautiful experience, isn't it?
