What to talk about
Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the circus. What are some things you might see at a circus? What are your favorite things? What makes the circus so special?
What's the story?
What's the story?
With music that crosses all genres (think Beatles
and
Johnny Cash) for big ears and kid-friendly play on words for the little ears, it's easy to see why his music and DVDs have been so successful. And that success continues with THE RHYMING CIRCUS. Ralph's world is certainly a fun place to be -- kids get to sing about bats in hats, tap-dancing elephants, and even frogs that love to jog!
Is it any good?
Is it any good?
Grammy-nominated artist Ralph Covert knows how to appeal both to young kids and their parents and positive messages don't get left out of the fun including celebrating every day even if it's not your birthday and appreciating and respecting differences in one another. Notable selections include "Abby's Alphabet Soup," a clever way to learn your ABCs and "Folsom Daycare Blues," a take-off on the Johnny Cash anthem "Folsom Prison Blues."
