PreS-Gr 2–Rebecca Freeza’s latest release is her best yet. Youngsters will be dancing along to her original, fresh tunes. Big Truck, Freeza’ s band, rolls out the perfect accompaniment to her fluid voice whether rocking with her energy or providing the perfect backdrop to her relaxing quieter songs. These 12 new tunes include several themed songs that will fit nicely into the story hour repertoire. Train enthusiasts will appreciate the rhythmic “Clack-ity Clack.” “The Spooky Dance” is a lighthearted Halloween song, complete with not-too-scary sound effects. Freeza and her daughter sing the round “Leaves Are Falling,” “Snow Day” will motivate youngsters to dance around the kitchen table when the weatherman makes his much anticipated morning announcement about school closures. Other songs include “Come on Out,” “Butterfly,” “So Nice to Meet You,” “Sidewalk Chalk,” and “Carnival Ride,” among others. Expect this CD to fly off the shelves, so it would be wise to purchase an additional copy for professional collections.
