Details:
This CD is part of a collection of educational books, audio-books and CDs that kids can take with them to bed. It uses an amusing approach to everyday life routines like waking up, a baby brother, eating, watching TV, being lost, frustration, anger, etc.

Jazz through "Wake Up Sleepy Head." Stomp your feet with the blues in "I Love My Sloppy Mess." Tango with "Boris The Bat" while he tells you about the perils of broad daylight and the relaxing beauty of the night. Listen to "The Kite's" baroque musical approach to imagination. Dance to the Caribbean rhythm of "Jimmy The Sea Horse's" tantrum when he loses at games. Smooth into "Natalie the Bee's" beat while she learns patience trying to fly.

As a TV writer and program host the author spent many years entertaining large audiences with stories, songs and educational activities. A fun and refreshing experience soon to become a children's classic. Catchy tunes that kids can sing and where they can listen to the sounds of their own world.
