Go! Go! Go!

PreS-Gr 2—This collection is the result of the collaboration between singer/songwriter Lolly Hopwood and children's health and fitness advocate Yvonne Kusters. Each of the 12 songs encourages movement, from actively jumping, marching, or getting rid of the silly illy willies to the gentler bookend songs that encourage participants to say hello at the beginning of the CD and goodbye at the end. There also are numbers about popping bubbles, moving like a variety of different animals, and freezing when the command is given. While movement is encouraged, the quieter, yet still lively and engaging tone of the vocals and melodies should result in children participating in the activities rather than becoming frenetic and running about. The length of the songs makes them perfect to use during story times or children's programs. Parents will also enjoy this CD and find it an easy way to get kids moving when they are stuck inside due to inclement weather. The versatility of the songs makes this a must-have for every collection.—Veronica De Fazio, Plainfield Public Library District, IL
