"Big Big Tree" is a song about creatures who live in a big tree in the forest.  The song uses a combination of patterned motor movements and sign language to enhance learning and target motor skills.  The catchy and repetative chorus targets comprehension of prepositions "up" and "down" and provides many oportunities for successful participation.
