This wonderful book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler was requested by my friend Alison who is starting her new teaching career in Dublin, Ireland. \r<br>\r<br>She ually requested Monkey Puzzle, but unfortunately all I could get at my local library here in Hawaii was the Americanized version called Wheres My Mom.\r<br>\r<br>I have already created a few songs for books but this one is my favorite. Partly because its such a fun book thats full of emotion, but also because I was able to get my children involved in helping me record parts of the song. \r<br>\r<br>I only hope that the song I created lives up to this beautiful book.\r<br>\r<br>Thanks again to Allison for the request and best wishes in your teaching adventures to come.\r<br>\r<br>Update 3/26/14\r<br>As requested by Caitlin McNamee here are the chords for this song.\r<br>\r<br>Intro G A D\r<br>\r<br>[G]Ive [A]lost my [D]mom\r<br>\r<br>[D]Hush little monkey [G]dont you cry\r<br>[A]Ill help you find her said [D]butterfly\r<br>Lets have a think how [G]big is she\r<br>\r<br>Shes [A]big said the monkey [D]bigger than me\r<br>\r<br>[G]Bigger than you then [D]Ive seen your mom\r<br>[A]Come little monkey [G]come [A]come [D]come\r<br>\r<br>[G]No no no [A]thats an [D]elephant\r<br>\r<br>The majority of the book follows a similar pattern.
