Album Notes

One of "12 Kid's Albums You Can't Live Without" - School Library Journal, July '07

"Tiburon", one of the "Top 15 songs of 2006" - kidsmusicthatrocks.com, January 1, '07

JOSH LEVINE FOR KIDS is a valuable resource for teachers, but it’s also for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and YOU!

Most of the songs are made for movement:

• "MI CUERPO HACE MUSICA" - my body makes music.
• "JUMP JIM JOE" – the lyrics tell you what to do.
• "I'VE BEEN WORKIN’ ON THE RAILROAD" - form a dancing train.
• "WHEELS ON THE BUS", "TIBURON" & "I AM A PUMPKIN" - pantomime.
• "IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT" – buy Josh Levine for Kids!
• "THE HOKEY POKEY" mambo.

There are also some great songs for teaching about diversity and tolerance:

• "A REAL BOUQUET" is a poem by Edith Segal set to music by Josh.
• "A PLACE IN THE CHOIR", by Bill Staines.
• "THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND", by Woody Guthrie.

Plus:

• "THE ALPHABET SONG" mambo.
• "CUMPLEANOS FELIZ" cha cha.

REVIEWS

great, unique music
author: Frances Schultz
I love this CD because it's children's music with a Latin rhythm (which I love) and English lyrics. It really sets a happy mood. I only wish the CD were longer.
