To Parents:
These playtime songs have been tested and re-tested at the school and are favorites with children and parents alike. The music and lyrics of the songs invite children to respond with dramatic play and rhythmic activity.
'Michie Banjo' is a word and music picture of a funny little man whom children love to imitate. It is of Louisiana Creole origin — and is sung in the native patois* as well as in English. Children enjoy the strange sound of the patois, and after a few hearings they generally prefer to sing the song that way.
'Angelico,' another Creole play song, contains some fine imagery and humor at the pre-school level. The English lyrics to 'Michie Banjo' and 'Angelico' were written by Marion Abeson.
'Sandy Land' and 'Paw Paw Patch' are American play songs of folk origin that are ideally suited for children.
* patois is the French-African dialect used by the Creoles of Louisiana and some of the West Indies.
