"A
delightful, eclectic collection of math and science songs
kids will love!"
Elayne Blythe, President, Film Advisory Board
"Inspired by well-known children’s picture books and cognizant of national science or math standards, this album of delightful tunes is a winner. A variety of voices, young and old, perform songs that range from whimsical to solemn. A few favorites, such as One Two, Buckle My Shoe, are inserted into other original pieces, which will charm young listeners. Musical styles are varied, ranging from bluegrass to spoken rhymes and responses to slavery-inspired spirituals. Some lyrics are in Spanish, others are sung with a foreign accent, lending a wonderful multicultural touch. Picture books suggested include much loved titles such as Ed Young’s Seven Blind Mice, Rosemary Wells’s Bunny Cakes, and Anno’s Counting Book by Mitsumasa Anno. The accompanying booklet has the words to all the songs, and lists the correlating math and science standards and the titles of the tie-in books. This is an excellent accompaniment to interdisciplinary units or good old-fashioned story hours. A must-have for preschool and kindergarten classrooms and primary collections, parents and caregivers will also appreciate its entertainment value." School Library Journal

DRAWING INSPIRATION from children's picture books, What Is It? Musical Math & Science introduces children to the building blocks of math and science through lively story-songs. The unique recording demonstrates that these little books can provide a multidimensional and powerful learning experience.
Using renowned picture books such as "Seven Blind Mice" by Ed Young and "Bunny Cakes" by Rosemary Wells as a springboard, songwriters/producers Diana Winn and Colin McCaffrey innovatively integrate original songs with early education concepts of patterns, measurement and observation, as well as life and physical sciences. All the songs are guided by national educational standards, and feature dynamic kid and grownup performances and rich production values. An illustrated booklet is included for sing-alongs, and bonus tracks of select instrumentals encourage parents and children to create and sing their own lyrics.
"This special recording incorporates all my loves: songwriting, teaching, working with kids, and children's literature," said Chief Re-Bop Diana Winn, a former educator, "What a joy!"
In addition, the project boasts an eclectic mix of musical styles, highlighted by several acclaimed World Music recording artists: Jamaican "Father Goose," Ghanaian Jordan Mensa, and Nicaraguan Jairo Sequeira, who performs two selections in Spanish.
