Little Ditties for Itty Bitties

PreS—Grammy nominee Michele Valeri sings 15 of her original compositions, backed up by Marcy Marxer (ukuleles, congas, guitar, mandolin, churango, percussion, bass) and Cathy Fink (banjo, guitar). Each of these folk, calypso, or bluegrass songs is very simple and repetitive, perfect for use with infants and toddlers. A couple of the songs are in both English and Spanish, and a children's chorus joins in on "A Dinosaur I Am." Among the other songs are "Bouncy, Bouncy," "Hurray for My Face," "Peekaboo," "My Dog George," "Monkey Talk," "Who Lives in the Zoo," and more. The CD can be loaded into a computer to access a PDF file which contains the lyrics and activity suggestions for each song. An excellent complement to library lapsit programs.—Beverly Wrigglesworth, San Antonio Public Library, TX
