2 Thumbs Up From My Toddler

Cute, fun, and highly dance-able, "A Duck in New York City" is a must for any child's music collection. We like "A Poodle in Paris" as well, but "Duck" is slightly superior. The Belly Button song is a favorite around here.

So creative and unique -- parents and children will love it!

I initially borrowed this book and CD set from the library on a whim because the cover looked interesting. Two renews later, I am purchasing one for the house. I have a 2 and 3 year old who listen to this CD non-stop. My 3 year old knows all the words, and I must confess I DO TO. The songs are so creative and catchy -- you will find yourself humming along with the alligators. This is certainly a smart collection of songs that will introduce your little one to various styles of music. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

Smart and fun, a real winner!

A friend gave my daughter this CD for her first birthday, and we've been listening to it almost nonstop ever since. The lyrics are clever and fun, and the music is beautifully scored and performed. I sing along with all the songs myself, and my daughter sways and dances. Highly recommended!!!

Excellent

This is a really cute book with great pictures and a very imaginative story that emphasizes the "I think I can" theme. It is great for children of all ages!

Top of our Grand-daughter's list!

We heard your "Duck in New York City" in a CBC radio program in Dec. about kids' music and the value of it to their musical growth. We loved that song and we went to Chapters the same day and purchased 2 copies of the CD. The songs are excellent and it is a great "learn and sing-along" disk. Our only problem(??)is that the 5 year old insists that there are butter-bugs in the slug song and her older sister disagrees! Great fun!! They both listen so carefully, and love to sing and dance to all the songs. We will be on the lookout for your other releases. Thank You...keep them coming!!
