Vicky Weber

This is a beautifully illustrated story about a young girl who gains super powers from rhythm. It immediately brought to mind The Little Einsteins fueling Rocket with their claps. It was a huge hit with my preschooler, as I imagine this book will be with kids today. Kids get to learn simple rhythms based on actual notation that enhances the fun story by letting the kids be interactive to help Tala avoid obstacles and rescue her friend. There is a chart in the back that teaches different methods of couting out notation.

I do think there could be a little more instruction about the basics of rhythm and notes. Music teachers and musicians will find this a great tool to use with young students, but non-musical care givers, I feel, might be a bit lost. Kids in the preschool to first grade range will very enjoy this book. I am looking forwr to reading more about the residents of Beat Street.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

I love Gingersnap Snatcher by Vicky Weber!! It is such a sweet book for any child to read or have read to them at Christmas! Three siblings come home from school so excited because their Abuela was making ginger snaps for them as an after school snack. But they only found the crumbs when they came in. So what do they do? They followed the crumbs to many places but didn’t find ginger snaps anywhere. Where do you think they would be?

This is a perfect book full of rhythms to tell they story. Vicky Weber does an excellent job writing this sweet story for children everywhere to enjoy during the Holiday season.
