I think it should be made more obvious, more clear, that there is a SONG AND VIDEO on YouTube that goes with the board book. Before hearing the song performed, I was 100% meh. It just was NOT working for me. The idea of having to come up with a tune to sing this one aloud OR doing a very dull spoken read aloud was making me dislike this one. The video is on Sandra Boynton's YT channel.

First sentence: Oh, there is snow, snow, snow. It's coming down, down, down, and it is fall, fall, falling all around, round, round. And you can tell, tell, tell what's on it's way--ee--yay. Yes! it will soon, soon, soon be Christmas Day!

Premise/plot: All the friends have gathered together to sing, sing, sing and welcome in the holiday season.

My thoughts: Don't give me a song without giving me a tune. Yes, this is me overthinking things. Yes, I think about how I would read this aloud. I don't want to 'perform' a song unprepared.

ETA: I read the VERY SMALL PRINT and there is a SONG on YouTube. The song is delightful when you hear the tune. I just think it should be more obvious that you have to go to YouTube to enjoy this board book. Turns out it is DOO-WOP.
