PreS-Gr 4-You're invited into the "splash zone" with Flumpa's World featuring Wendy Whitten, "The Singing Scientist," and Rick Florian. Using an eclectic mix of musical styles, they turn the science of water into a musical adventure. Fourteen upbeat and dance-friendly songs cover everything from molecules and evaporation to exotic marine life. Listeners will become learners with songs like "Water Cycle," "Wetlands," and "Water, Water Everywhere" (which describes the world's oceans). Whale sounds complement the track "Friends of the Sea," and you can feel the heat of the beach during the reggae inspired "Caribbean Fun!" Attractive artwork complements the extensive liner notes that include lyrics and additional science information. A fun way to learn science facts, this CD is sure to enhance any school or public library collection.
