Details:
From her highly acclaimed live performances, national children's artist Shana Banana has assembled her favorite songs and life's lessons into a dynamic CD that children will want to enjoy again and again. A 2001 Parent's Choice Award winner, "Shana Banana's Music and Fun For Kids" is a melodic storytelling journey into a fantasy world where education is fun and every child is special.

Born in Hawaii and raised along the California and Florida coasts, Shana traded a career as a marine scientist for the glamour of the children's music stage a few years ago. And she's never looked back -- except to write songs like "Ocean Dreams" the finale of this wonderful 17-song package.

A performer at Kidstock, the White House, numerous folk and kids' festivals and a nominee for "Family and Children's Entertainer of the Year," by the National Association of Campus Activities, Shana is a star among this new era of children's artists. She is a trained educator who brings an exciting modern vision to children's music and a tremendous singer-songwriter who is trained in the pop, blues and jazz fields.

In this CD, all Shana Banana's characters are here: Hal and Henson the curious, mischievous dogs, Black Beetle, Pirate Scooterdo, Mervyn the Manatee, The Hugmonster, Cowboy Bud and Cowgirl Claire and the nameless Dinosaur everyone wants to be like!

Upbeat and modern, her song and story titles include "Toothbrush Rock," which emphasizes, Elvis style, the fun and importance of brushing your teeth; "Pirate Scooterdoo," a lively tune about a book loving pirate who teaches kids about the four directions; "Trash Rap," which teaches recycling and has kids chanting "Pick it up . . . and throw it a-WAY!" and "Black Beetle," which drives home the point that a person shouldn't be judged by what they look like.

Add a Hawaiian-inspired "Banana Shack," the silly "A-A-Aachoo Blues," mysterious "Ooga Booga Dance," imaginative "Space Explorer," the wild "If I Ate My House," and the funny "Green" and you can understand why children all over the country are singing "Let's Go Bananas" when Shana Banana passes through town.
