Learning the alphabet is bound to be fun with this cute watercolour picture book featuring 24 simply worded songs that invite children to go on a wild musical odyssey through the letters A to Z.  They'll get a chance to meet a host of zany characters like a friendly ghost who delivers fruit-filled flans on a bicycle, a twisted turtle who feels a tad bare under her shell, and a curious cricket named Simon.  The accompanying CD features a fusion of rock, pop, world, and folk music performed exquisitely by seasoned singers and talented musicians who incorporate into the tunes a wide array of instruments, among them the xylophone, the glockenspiel, and the pedal steel guitar. Children are sure to clap their hands and join in on the theme song, “Sing It Again,” at the end.

Six singers hit the right note:  great talent, wonderful lyrics. ÉCHO RÉPUBLICAIN
