Music

• Can you write a melody for Bats at the Library? Is it singable? Is there a chorus? (hint: look at the italicized text—how is it different from the rest of the text, and why?)
• Rhythm: clap hands or rhythm sticks along with a reading of the book. Where does the rhythm change? Was that an accident, or intentional? Why?
• Write a short song about your favorite book (idea: listen to Bobby McFerrin’s lightning-quick medley of “The Wizard of Oz” as a prompt).
• What music might you use as a soundtrack to Bats at the Library? Would there be any changes of tempo/ mood in the songs? Where in the story do you think the changes would go?
