            Parents Choice and NAPPA award-winning Wendy Morgan and Darryl Boggs perform 15 high energy pop and jazz songs that feature travel, science, language, and the arts. In addition to terrific vocals, the instrumentalists give excellent performances on guitar, ukulele, violin, bass, piano, keyboards, accordion, saxophone, drums, and percussion. An enthusiastic children’s chorus joins in on many of the songs. Wendy and DB take listeners on a fun road trip in “Hey Big World,” traveling in a car, airplane, and ship. Listeners learn about a couple of different types of “Clouds.” Dance in the farmyard with the animals, with a “Clap Tap.” Sing and dance “La Dey Da” in English and Spanish. “Gibberito” is about making up fun nonsense words, such as goo balee gahp. One creates music “From the Heart.” Form a “Kitchen Band” with spoons, pots, pans, and beans in a jar. It doesn’t matter what size or shape a “Home” is as long as there is love inside. A child is afraid of the “Ghost in the Closet.” Listeners are encouraged to “Get Outside” to play. DB performs a great cover of “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” from Disney’s Mary Poppins. Listeners learn about the forces of “Gravity.” The “Giralephant,” a giraffe/elephant hybrid, shares its woes of not fitting in. Listeners are encouraged to practice traffic safety and to always “Stop for the Red Light.” What can one see and hear in the “Night Sky?” This is an excellent addition to Wendy and DB’s previous albums.
