Young children will enjoy listening to, and then singing the same story! The Listen & Sing-Along Classic Favorites Collection features “The Wheels On The Bus,” “Old MacDonald Had A Farm,” “Down By The Bay,” and “B-I-N-G-O.” Little ones will laugh as the wheels on the bus go ‘round and ‘round as it travels through the town, and then “moo” and “oink” as they sing “e-i-e-i-o” in the classic song “Old MacDonald Had A Farm.” Can you imagine seeing a frog walking a dog down by the bay?
