minutes
Reading hint: Scroll
down BELOW the two-page picture to find the words, repeated for
reading--a little larger! (In the picture, the
words, like the kites, start near the ground and then go to the
sky. You can see each page bigger, if you want: Left
side. Right
side.)
 
All words are
readable below--scroll far down! Song: Cory starts, then Allison, Emily, Joshua sing. (You can hear
just solos by clicking names just below.) For "all at
once," see note at very
bottom.

Cory sings a song, then Allison*, then Emily*. Next, all three sing their
songs all at once, and then Joshua
sings. Finally, all start again, one after
another--until all four kite-flyers are singing their
own songs at the same time.
(To hear just that last part,
click
here).
In those "all at
once" parts, the words are sung as they're lined up
from left to right, above. Use the colors to help your ear pick
out the words of Cory,
Allison, Emily, and Joshua.
Psst. A
not-so-secret. My daughters Allison* and Emily* are singing the girls'
songs.
