Parents are the first, and most important teachers of their children, not only directly teaching, but choosing products for their children. For preschoolers, the distinction between education and entertainment is subtle. Children of this age group are learning constantly, and the more enjoyment they get from what they watch, read, listen to, or interact with, the more they will take in, and learn. This site looks at a range of resources and media aimed at that critical age before school is started, and assesses the educational and entertainment value of these products. There are also profiles of the artists, writers, and performers involved, interviews, and lots of links to help parents become more informed consumers, choosing the most appropriate products to help give their preschooler a terrific learning head-start.

  In between the action, the show becomes something of a musical, with characters breaking into song and dance. It’s all very zany, and due to the vividness of the wigs, the scenery, and the mixture of animation, puppets and dance. Between the slapstick comedy and music, and the great thematics, this is a show that appeals to kids both very young, who will enjoy the drama, and older children, who will get the messages.

  Though the lyrics are definitely oriented towards young children – talking about things like dinosaurs, tickling, painting, cutlery, jelly, and teddies, the music is funky and adult friendly, and Clarke’s voice is as interesting as it is smooth.

 Sad to say, not too many people have even heard of the book. The premise and rhyme are amusing, words flow in cadenced, and lovely tempo that children adore. Images are a brilliant addition to the account. |
