My Review 

Other reviews from teachers and parents:

I've heard so many positive comments from teachers and parents. And the CD/DVDs are outrageously popular. - JoAnn, Manager, Pre-School Special Education

You helped them generalize skills such as appropriate waiting, social interactions, and turn taking. I would definitely recommend this to parents/other teachers...The kids all loved it and continue to request the DVD/CD! It was great to see them engaged and eager to participate. I would absolutely recommend it to others. - Becky, Senior Behavior Therapist

I play the CD during snack time in my classroom. The music leads to a sense of calm. Some of the students move with the beat of the music in the songs as they eat. The songs have also led to some interesting discussions with the students asking questions about inference – a high level skill for first graders, but one easily understood as we listen to and discuss the words in the songs. - Pat, Special Education/First Grade Teacher

The kids are still singing your songs!!  We had a talent show in the auditorium, and the first grade class got on stage and sang My Little Dog with the CD playing in the background.  They memorized the lyrics by heart... it truly brought tears to my eyes.  The gift of music touches the lives of these young children. - Jocelyn, Educator at a Cleveland Municipal School for medically fragile children

"The students have requested 'My Little Dog' at least 20 times this morning! I will be listening to your CDs this summer so I can create lesson plans to accompany the music. I am looking forward to introducing 'Little Songs' to next year’s group of kids." - Vicki, Pre-Kindergarten Teacher

One little girl and boy quickly learned the words and sang along. Very cute! I think it was a really wonderful way for the kids to spend some time. - Meghan, Behavioral Therapist
