New RUBY FLEW TOO!, SHE'LL BE COMING ROUND THE MOUNTAIN and HOW THE BORKS BECAME read-along and sing-along videos

Following on from last month's post about authors recording and broadcasting from their computers, I've recorded some new videos of my own.

Here's my reading of Ruby Flew Too! illustrated by Rebecca Harry. You can find out more about this book and download activity sheets on this page of my web site: scribblestreet.co.uk/pictures/ruby1/ruby1.html

My picture book adaptation of She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain illustrated by Deborah Allwright seemed like an entertaining sing-along for stay-at-home families, so I decided to record a version of the song using the new lyrics I wrote for the book. If you listen to it, you will understand why I write rather than sing for a living.

I've created two versions of the video; this one with just the song …



… and this longer version which teaches you the actions that accompany the words.
