Barefoot Books-Animal Boogie with Singalong CD-Barefoot Books Review

Cover of "The Animal Boogie"Cover of The Animal Boogie Barefoot Books-Animal Boogie with Singalong CD-Barefoot Books
from Barefoot Books get gold stars from me for the Animal Boogie for this.  A good idea is to pop the CD on in theafternoons. It is the perfect weapon for getting that excess energy burnt off before bedtime!
What You Get,  32 Colour Pages: Wonderful, vibrant and bold pictures to look at whilst reading. There are lots of patterns, colours, shapes, children and other animals to look at. The pictures help to understand what animal they have to pretend to be and dance to. Perfect to lead your child through every step of the song. It makes it easy for us adults as well. The lyrics are printed on each page making it easy to follow and know when to turn each page.
Singalong CD:  The tune, especially the chorus is so catchy, you will be humming it, mouthing the words and tapping toes almost straight away!  This 32 page Award Winning paperback Barefoot Books-Animal Boogie with Singalong CD-Barefoot Books  Animal Boogie takes everyone on a fantastic and fun journey through the Indian jungle.  The book is a series of “down in the jungle” segments, with different animals.  As you turn each page the guessing game begins.
Each animal is being watched by a different child. The children are also a good mix, including children of different ethnic groups and even a wheelchair user. There are plenty of opportunities for talking points. Pop the CD in though and the book is transformed. Sing along, Learn about the animals; create your own dance moves to stomp like an elephant, flap like a bird and so much more!
The music on the CD is very lively and perfect for dancing to. It is just what a little one wants to listen to in fact. Fred Penner who sings on the CD has a great voice for this, putting the right tones to fit the lyrics in the book. This makes it a really fun experience and easy to follow. He even does the sounds as well.
WARNING – You may end up singing The Animal Boogie in your head all day in the most unusual of places.
Every child will have their own special moves and favourites. I know my daughter loves the elephant as she can stomp around along with slithering around on the floor like a snake.
I hope all you parents out there are ready as well, because you won’t escape, believe me, it will be the most fun you can have as a whole family as well.  Easy to read, Animals, Colorful, Sing-along, Great illustrations, This is a fantastic fun book for pre-schoolers. My child loves animals and music, so absolutely love this book. It’s one that we can read or sing together, or they can look at it on their own with or without the CD.
When they’re listening to the CD they know when they need to turn the page, which is great. It’s also brilliant for movement as we have actions for each of the different animals. I’d recommend Animal Boogie with Singalong CD-Barefoot Books-Animal Boogie with Singalong CD to everyone!!  You can get this and ALL Barefoot Books HERE
