PreS-Gr 3The Learning Station team (Laurie Monopoli, Don Monopoli, and Jan Hrkach) have put together another excellent album of 15 favorite childhood songs that will get kids moving and dancing. The accompanying booklet contains the lyrics to each song as well as instructions for movements and dances. The band uses a wide variety of musical styles, including Motown, funky hip-hop, rap, novelty, folk, and rock. The excellent vocals are especially well-performed, as the vocalists adapt their voices with ease to the various musical styles. An enthusiastic childrens chorus enhances the songs. The playlist includes Make New Friends, Nursery Rhyme Dance, Boom Chicka Boom (with various sound effects), Be Kind to Your Web-Footed Friends, Aint It Great to Be Crazy, Day O Time to Go Home (the groups version of The Banana Boat Song), Baby Shark, Rockin My Hips (adapted from Rock a My Soul), Stone Soup, and others. This album encourages listeners to move and dance and will be a great resource for librarians, teachers, and parents.
Part of what makes listening to this CD so much fun is that you can feel the enjoyment and exuberance of the performers coming through clear as a bell. More importantly, there’s a great deal of talent at work, lending authenticity to the often silliness-laced variety of tunes presented here in grand style. From Gospel to Funk, Caribbean to Rock’n Roll (and even some good old down-home New Orleans style), there are plenty of sounds on parade, and lots to do while you’re listening. Just pop open the accompanying booklet, and mixed in with the lyrics you’ll find dances, moves, sing-a-longs, and other lively activities that map to the songs and take the fun into the stratosphere. The often silly lyrics and matching kooky voice-work will get you laughing but won’t overshadow the fact that you’re listening to talented musicians with a love for music and performing!

This new cd is a MUST-have for any family with young children or teacher with young students looking to let out a little energy (that wasn’t released on the playground perhaps)? 🙂 All 15 songs are energetic, unique and interactive. The cd’s light-hearted hits are classic with a modern twist! “#1 Best Kid’s Songs” collection is a great mix of different beats, styles, instruments, voices and silly sounds. Just press “play,” and I bet you can’t sit still! A wonderful way for kids to play, learn and move!
