The first 14 tracks of the album are original folk songs performed by Jeanie Bratschie accompanied by guitar, bass, rhythm instruments, mandolin, Cajon, and drums. Children join in on some of the songs. These songs include “If I Was an Ant” (or a spider, or bee, or cricket, etc.); “5 Little Pieces of Bubble Gum” (a count down song); “How Do We Play Fair” ( with tips); “Read a Book” to learn things; “Unicorn Song” (all about them); “Marching On My Feet” (parts of the body); “Zim Zamma Zoom” (what animals at the zoo eat); “Mary Had a Little Farm” (animal voices and noises); “How Do You Build a Nest” (how birds build nests); “Please Don’t Pick Your Nose;” “Clap Up High” (participatory movement); “I’m a Little Butterfly” (its life cycle); “Seed In the Ground” (how plants grow); and “While You Were Sleeping” (a lullaby).

The second half of album (tracks 15-28) are transitional songs, accompanied only by guitar. The playlist includes “Let’s Say Hello,” “Time to Wash Hands,” “Come On Over to the Carpet,” “Time To Go Outside,” “The Hallway Is a Quiet Place,” “Get Into a Line,” “Right Hand on the Rail,” “Snack Time,” “Have a Seat on the Floor,” “Voices At Zero,” “Time To Listen,” “Clean Up,” “Firebird Goodbye,” and “Goodbye Friends.”

This is a great album for libraries, day cares, and pre-school classrooms.
