What Parents Need to Know
About Ella Jenkins: Early Early Childhood Songs
Parents need to know that singing traditional nursery rhymes is often the first step in a child's musical education. Jenkins allows kids to do that and so much more. She enriches the experience by creating name-that-tune type games on the second half of the CD. And as another added bonus, in line with Jenkins' aim to educate culturally as well as musically, the tune "London Bridge" is fitted with Japanese words.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the different instruments they hear and try to identify them. They can also play the tune-guessing games together, in which a bit of the tune is first played on an instrument, before Jenkins sings the lyrics.
