More Info:
Already a winner of a 2006 Parents' Choice Recommended Award, a Children's Music Web Award, and the winner of the 2007 Canadian Children's Book Centre 'Our Choice' award, this 3rd CD from LuLu and the Tomcat is a 'lulu' of a CD! ********************************************** Review in School Library Journal November, 2006 LuLu and the Tomcat: Stick to It! In this collection of 18 songs, Lulu and TomCat have created an environment where learning other languages and about other cultures is fun and exciting. The catchy first song, "Sunny Holiday," teaches children how to say hello in 12 languages including Ojibwe, Russian, Italian, and Hebrew. Language literacy continues with the French songs "Quand le soleil" and "En roulant ma boule," and the Japanese song "Canada no Iro." There are also two songs in Spanish--"Cuando los Animales" and "Los Gatos Toucan"-and an English/Spanish song, "Un Sombrero." Rounding out the multicultural theme is "Let's Go Fishing," set in Hawaii, and the "Popcorn Polka." Other highlights include "Flight of the Bumblebee" with lyrics and the title song, "Stick to It!," a retelling of Aesop's "The Tortoise and the Hare." The instrumentations and vocals are beautifully done with children often singing along. Sure to be popular in classrooms and at home, this is a must-have for all collections. By Veronica Schwartz, Des Plaines Public Library, IL ********************************************** LuLu and the Tomcat have been described as creative, energetic, enthusiastic, very child friendly, with a highly interactive stage show, a musical extravaganza of sing-alongs, storytelling, puppetry and participation. A wonderful atmosphere of fun and laughter, with a colourful catalogue of tunes... a fresh and fun approach to family 'edu-tainment.' As international 'edu-tertainers,' these multiple award winning 'cool cats' have also performed in schools and community centres in Cuba, and represented Canada at the World Expo in Japan.
