This song can be a useful tool to help parents and teachers teach colors and animals. This song can also be used to help teach words that are also sounds, for example, in the lyrics "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!' The teacher or parent can illustrate to the child that this is the sound a snake makes, but can also be a word that describes the sound.
While being a great song to teach animals, this is also one of the silly songs that teachers and parents can use to teach their children about nonsense. We all know that ducks cannot talk, so it is important that we teach that to the children while teaching the silliness of this song.
he album was reissued by CBS Records Inc. in 1974. It's often thought of as the best childrens" records ever produced!
