Can a Jumbo Jet Sing the Alphabet
Hap Palmer
Ages 2 to 8

Fun and learning are so thoroughly, agreeably entwined on this new offering from Babysongs creator Hap Palmer that your preschoolers won't be able to tell which is which. Seasoned pro Palmer, who helped pioneer the use of music and movement in teaching basic skills, covers all the bases. There are songs dealing with letters, numbers, shapes, body parts, even "relating spatial concepts to basic fractions" - not to mention learning "hello" and "goodbye" in a dazzling array of languages ( try Yoruba, Macedonian, and Cantonese). Palmer gets tots moving, too, with sprightly, beautifully produced tunes such as "The Bean Bag" and "Boogie Down and Cruise." His amiable, I'm-your-buddy vocals suit these stylistically varied offerings wonderfully, making him, without a doubt, an essential component of the family music library."
