Start With A Story - Dragons & Dinosaurs

Dragons and Dinosaurs are the fantastical beasts of myth, legend and history: exciting monsters for young minds as they read, learn and play. With their big teeth, loud roars and fire-breathing jaws, they are thought of as fearsome, scary and mean creatures - even by other Dragons and Dinosaurs! Starting with the story, A Roaring success!, this musical activity book and CD tells the tale of two feuding Dragon and Dinosaur families who soon find out that they're not so different after all.

Ideal for specialist and generalist Early Years teachers, Start With A Story - Dragons & Dinosaurs is a rich teaching resource to inspire and inform your lesson plans. The pack contains:

• A specially-written song to illustrate each chapter of the story
• A range of activities with brilliant ideas for games, poems, songs, movement, drama, role-play, percussion playing and more
• A CD with all the music and audio tracks to bring the story to life. All the songs are presented with a vocal demonstration and backing track.
• All you need is a space and a selection of simple percussion instruments!

The Start With A Story... series has been specially designed by Ann Bryant for the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, using a story as a powerful starting point from which songs, poems and drama activities can emerge. Ann is an award-winning author of over 90 books that include children's fiction, music education resources and books about emotions, families and friendships for older children.
