Grades 4–7- • Mark Burrows's passion for music, learning, and fun comes together brilliantly in his "Smarty Pants" collections. After exploring the visual arts in "Yo, Leonardo!" and the sciences in "Go, Galileo!" he turns his wit and style to literature in this collection of songs that are sure to become some of your favorites. With musical styles ranging from Dixieland to Broadway to salsa to rock 'n' roll, these selections are perfect for any performance need. Your classroom teachers and your principal are sure be big fans, too, as you introduce your students to famous lines from literary masterworks. A reproducible fact sheet introducing each author or genre is included, as are suggestions for correlating activities. Also included are reproducible vocal parts and a performance/accompaniment CD.
