  CD for Children 


This Is the Day!
Storysongs
and Singalongs


Sung by Yonah & friends

****
Eighteen brand new songs
for playtime, rest time, storytime, and bedtime--


a dozen songs inspired by picture books:
activity songs
(“Moon Rooster,” “Summer Is Summer,” “Kallaloo”),
singalongs
(“Greetings, Sun,” “This Is the Day,” “Rata Pata Scata Fata”),
Spanish/English songs,
and more!

A picture book jamboree. Look! Read! Sing!
And listen for a sleepy lullaby or two,

a mystery, and a love song to the Virgin Islands....

“What a wonderful family musical experience
with direct ties to children’s literature.”
Rob Reid, Author -- Something Musical Happened
at the Library and Children’s Jukebox
