"Minnie's Birthday Wish" is the second book of the "Celebration Series". The story is a believable fantasy that leaves children debating the book's outcome. It includes songs that enhance the story. It was written for M. Y. C.'s tenth anniversary. It is a useful teaching tool - for language arts as well as singing. It contains songs in major, minor, whole tone and pentatonic scales.Frances M Balodis M.Ed., ARCT, LCCM(Hon.), LCNC(Hon.), MYCC. Founder of Music for Young Children(1980) states ""Minnie's. Birthday Wish' is a delightful book with a wonderful story and music."
