As a member of The Children's Music Network, I'm familiar with Steve Blunt's great take on music kids wll love.  What's more, they'll learn from Steve's positive messages couched in humorous lyrics and performed with passion and power.  I got Steve's Hang On, Henry album some time back.  When my grandchildren are with me in the car, they ask to hear that cd over and over; so I knew I'd be in for a treat with Let's Have a Reading Party.  When I checked out the songs, I wasn't disappointed.  The album's super.  As a singer-songwriter and reading teacher, these are songs I desperately wish I had written.  But I'll borrow them from Steve, and that'll be the next best thing!

Reading-together, Echo Reading, is a great way to learn, and all these Read-Alongs are super funny and clever.  The Pirates' Reading Song is a must-hear, and there's a great message couched in Steve's clever humor in You've Been Watching Too Much TV.  Reading Road Trip, USA rocks out...No, the whole album rocks!
