The Rattlin' Bog (Barefoot Singalongs)
Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

Ro, ro, the rattlin' bog, the bog down in the valley-o!

Joining Barefoot's singalong collection, this rollicking traditional Irish tune sung by a traditional Irish band explores an Irish peat bog where a rattlin' (Irish slang for "wonderful") tree contains a rattlin' nest, which contains a rattlin' egg, which contains a rattlin' bird...all the way down to a seed of a brand-new rattlin' tree.

Includes notes on Irish peat bogs and the creatures that live there, as well as plant and animal life cycles.

The Speks is Ireland's first traditional Irish music band for kids and their families. The six members, Quince, Naymon, Tommo, Pete, Ed, and Rafferty, live on a magical island off the coast of County Clare, Ireland. It's called Glasses Island because everybody wears glasses there. The lads love singing, dancing, and playing music. Their motto is: "Sing along and sing aloud!".
