ReFoReMo Day 23:  Tracey M. Cox Listens to the Music

3/24/2015

Rocking with the rhythm is something we think of with songs. Stories based on songs can carry the ebb and flow with their text. This helps pull the reader further into a story. A story can use a phrase or the beat of a song to guide the story. Here are some books that get my toes tapping.


Little Goblins Ten by Pamela Jane and Jane Manning
Mama Built a Little Nest by Jennifer Ward and Steve Jenkins
Over In the Forest by Marianne Berkes and Jill Dubin
One Love by Cedella Marley and Vanessa Newton
Five Little Ducks by Anthony Lewis

Oh my goodness! Is it based on the song? I remember a song here in the states. My mom had it on a 45 record. (I'm showing my age here. LOL)

This is a great idea, in fact as I was reading your suggestions a writing idea came to my head. Now to just find the right song/mentor text to go along with it. Will be looking up "Over in the Forest" as it was the one that made the lightbulb come one. ;)

Over In the Forest is layered too. It introduces baby animals, what their footprints look like, along with facts in the back of the book. Plus there are other hidden animals to find.

Deborah,
Thanks. I love how each of them approached the story line so differently.
One Love takes one phrase and intermingles it through out.
Over in the Forest is layered with animals, footprints, facts, and discovery.
Mama Built a Little Nest is filled with interesting facts.
Ten Little & Five Little Ducks have their own quirkiness.
It goes to show you how everyone sees things in a different light.

I guess my question would be if you consider the legal rights to use songs? Some may be in public domain, but some melodies (and famous four-notes) are copyrighted. Even if you are using the rhythm of a song, wouldn't that be crossing the line? (I assume that's why I typically only see books with nursery-rhymes etc. or else the song writers--or families--publish related pbs.)

Reply
Tracey M. Cox
3/23/2015 01:37:59 am

Juliann,
You asked a great question. You do have to be careful with copyrights. The first thing I did was look to make sure it was in public domain. Public domain and royalty-free are very different. Royalty-free usually has a free to purchase 'rights' to use. While public domain is free and clear of any rights.
Like you said, most that are done are nursery rhymes or older songs. Wheels on the Bus Mary had a Little Lamb, and others are free and clear. While a particular song variation might not be, because that particular artist has rights to that version.
Hope that helps. :)

I LOVE picture books that explore music, whether in the literal sense, the language, or both! In terms of exploring the subject of music, I'd recommend-

"The Blues of Flats Brown"
by Walter Dean Myers
Illustrated by Nina Laden

Reviewed this on "Talking Animal Addicts" recently. This is rhythmic/lyrical writing at its best.

This book also celebrates it's 15th anniversary this year. This book works on many levels, and has that enviable charm that can appeal to little kids at story time, but also older kids as it touches on topical issues to discuss such as animal abuse and the healing power of music, without being preachy or heavy-handed.

"Violet's Music"
by Angela Johnson
Illustrated by Laura Huliska-Beith


In terms of rhythm in the prose there's-

"Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam"
by Tracey Codorey
Illustrated by Steven Lenton

The page spreads make it feel like your reading a short film. The nonstandard rhyme scheme enchants without being laborious.

"The Snatchabook"
by Helen Docherty
Illustrated by Thomas Docherty

Striking illustrations, invented wordplay, and impeccable rhyme. One of the best <b>(and most original)</b> homages to Seuss I've ever read. This is an author-illustrator team to watch!


"The Highway Rat"
by Julia Donaldson
Illustrated by Axel Scheffer


"Bad Dog"
by Nina Laden
This is sadly out of print, but it's WORTH tracking down, or checking with your library network. The rhyme and rythm accomplished here are a perfect match with the angular and quirky illustrations. If/When this gets reissued they should seriously consider doing an audio version, with the right narrator it'd be amazing!


While the rats I know are good (for the most part) there's something to be said for their often typecast role as the baddie, and this book revels in that long-standing tradition.

Children quickly remember the words in stories when there's rhyme, rhythm, and song. Like Juliana says, soon they are "reading by themselves." Your mentor texts look like wonderful toe tappers. Can't wait to check them out.

Thanks for these awesome suggestions ! Can't wait to read them. My kiddos love the book Abiyoyo by Pete Seeger, illustrated by Michael Hays. I like how it's classified as a "storysong" on the cover too. The one good thing about my kids listening to children's radio, is that it has been really inspiring for my writing and illustrating. Thanks again!
