The Book
This book contains seven newly composed fun and educational songs in
Irish Gaelic for children to learn. Each page pops up with exciting and colourful characters.
This is the first ever pop-up book to be created in Ireland. It is also the first ever book to have a musical instrument built in that you can play!
In this age of social media and smart phones, this book with songs and dances will spark children’s curiosity, encourage them to be active and give them plenty of scope to use their own imagination. It’s also a fun way for adults to learn Irish!
Videos & Dances
There are a series of accompanying videos for each song in the book performed by children from the Dongal Gaeltacht along with interactive dance moves. There are also instructional videos explaining the dance moves for 5 of the songs. The dance moves are easy & could be picked up in a few minutes by school-children. The videos are available to watch here or on Youtube.
