    author: Seema Bubber

    Around the World and We dont ever have to say Goodbye are my favourites. Both songs have very meaningful lyrics and catchy tunes!

    author: Laurie S

    This is a great CD to help promote literacy. My students have the words and learn the songs. It helps increase their sight words.

  • Kids Love to Sing Along!
    author: Lisa Clark

    This CD has been an awesome addition to my first grade classroom. I use certain songs to signal transitions, and the other songs the kids enjoy listening to and singing along with while they work.

  • Terrific for the classroom
    author: 1st Grade Teacher

    This CD is well loved by my first grade class. We use it for transitions and various breaks. The kids love to sing along and make up moves to the songs. A good investment for any primary classroom.

  • Children love these songs, they are enjoyable for everyone.
    author: Second Grade Teacher

    I am a second grade teacher and bought this CD for transition music. I find I am playing it often, and the children really seem to enjoy it; the voice, the melodies, the lyrics. I'm looking forward to getting another one from this artist soon!

  • we listen over and over
    author: Lora

    The songs are so catchy and fun. All three of my kids learned the words right away, and sing along as we listen to it over and over again in the car. This is a great CD for families to share! "Itchy itchy owey owey boo boo" is now a household phrase!

  • My son and daughter love the songs.
    author: Michele Buchner

    My son and daughter love this CD. I love to dance around the kitchen with them singing these fun songs!

  • Kids love it and so do I!
    author: Pam

    The kids love to sing along (especially Itchy, Itchy), and I love the positive messages in the songs. The music and the words are very upbeat and positive.

  • I use All the Way Around the World to get kids to come to circle
    author: Miss Kinder

    I teach kindergarten, and love the song "All the Way Around the World" - things seem right in the world when I hear that song. I play the song to get kids to come to circle time.

  • My first-graders and I love our new CD!
    author: Margie McLeod

    The songs are great with catchy tunes! Our favorites are Itchy, Itchy, Owie, Owie, Boo Boo and All the Way Around the World. We find ourselves singing it often during the day!

  • This CD will be fun and a good springboard to related topics in my early primary
    author: Mrs. D

    Aafter listening to this CD several times, I have assigned each song a "job" in my early primary classroom: the springboard to a related topic or a 'goodbye song'...the lyrics are easy to learn and I can't wait for September!

  • Love the CD
    author: Ione and Jeff Bullard

    I teach Kindergarten and the kids love singing the songs. They dance and I also play the guitar and they sing.

  • Love the CD and so do my second graders!
    author: Rebe Davis

    I heard one of the songs, and fell in love. I researched where to find it and bought it on line. Most everyone who hears it wants to know where I got it and wants to purchase it also. My second graders love to listen to all the songs as often as I can play them. We LOVE Itchy Itchy Owie Owie Boo Boo!!

  • My kids were singing along before we got through the first song!
    author: Susan First Grade Teacher

    We're excited to learn all the others, but they already love Itchy Itchy Owie Owie Boo Boo and we're going to perform Read a Book at an assembly soon!

  • an uplifting collection of children's songs
    author: joni

    My children and I are enjoying this CD! The songs are upbeat and fun to sing. We especially enjoy All the Way Around the World. This song lends itself to motions which the children can create. Thank you very much!

  • Both students and teacher love these songs and tunes.
    author: Judith Kreiger

    My children enjoy listening to this CD. I find the CD very grounding and listen to it even when no children are in my room. The tunes are catchy and the words are very meaningful!

  • I teach second grade and my students really like these songs.
    author: teacher-second grade

    As a second grade teacher, this CD has songs that my students really enjoy singing when we have extra time. They are very kid friendly and adults enjoy them too. I find myself putting this CD on when I am working in the room after school.
