Preschool - Gr 2

"Curiosity" may have killed the cat, but it is essential for children to learn, as they ask questions about everything, in this song on Wendy and DB's new album. This lively and upbeat album features bluegrass, blues, folk, rock, calypso, and easy listening musical styles. Vocal performances are excellent with lovely harmonies on several songs. Wendy, DB, and several other musicians make beautiful music on guitar, piano, organ, bass, mandolin, banjo, percussion, djembe, kete, and conga. The opening song expertly combines Wendy's "It's a Doo Da Day" with "You Are My Sunshine." The other songs include "It's OK Being You," "Pink Flamingo," "Walla Walla Tree," "I Love My Body," "Johnny Cash Cooking Song" (baking cookies), "Beautiful Day," "One Shoe," "Little Engine" (little engine that could), and "Shine a Light" (with an accompanying student chorus). This is a great album that the whole family will enjoy.
