Performed by Dana Cohenour. CD. Approx. 34 min. Larry Beaird & Dana Cohenour. 2016. $10.
COPY ISBN
PreS—Cohenour's 20-plus years of experience working with children is evident in every song on her newest, energy-filled album. From the opening track, "Jump and Jive," to "Legs," a great song about a variety of animals (horse, crab, centipede) and the number of legs they have, kids will be engaged. Many of the songs are ideal for storytime, including the freeze dance song "Jumping Beans," the interactive "Follow the Leader," and a bluegrass spin on the traditional "Five Green and Speckled Frogs." The new shaker song "Shakin' Things Up" would be a nice addition to storytime or music classes. If exercise and movement are what you're looking for, "Wiggle Workout" fits the bill, as it encourages children to run in place and do jumping jacks.
VERDICT Perfect for storytimes, this album will be in high demand by parents and preschool teachers alike. A must-have for every collection.—Veronica De Fazio, Plainfield Public Library District, IL
