Singing in Our Garden 1 review Banana Slug String Band
Slug Music, 2002
So much fun they won't notice the education
The songs are catchy and fun, and have enough musical variety to keep the adults from going crazy. My five year old loves "Fungi, Bacteria, Invertebrates" and the "Water Cycle Boogie". It's especially fun to watch people's surprised faces as he sings about Evaporation, Precipitation, and ...

This Land Is Your Land 2 reviews Phil Rosenthal
American Melody, 1999

I found this CD at my public library and thought it might be an adequate collection to introduce my 5 year old daughter to some classic American folksongs.

Now, in addition to modeling Earth-friendly behaviors, moms and dads can play Environmental Songs for Kids . Here New England musician and school teacher Coco ...
