(Rounder $15.98 Score:
) Inspired by the work of Picasso, Degas, Cassatt, and other great artists, Jessica Harper brings another bright collection of music that will be enjoyed by the preschool set.

(Rounder $14.95 Score:
) Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer are back with another lively collection of music that your kids will enjoy dancing to. They begin with scat singing in the style of big band music. But they don’t get stuck in one groove—they move on to swing, polka, blues, Latin, and old-time country music. This duo consistently delivers fun music that is affirmatively written with kids in mind without being preachy or sappy. (800) 768-6337. Age: Preschool,Early School Years. Award Year: 2006.

2008 Award
(Rounder $11.98 Score:
) I just want to give Sandra Boynton and Michael Ford a hug for coming through with a wonderful collection of witty music that is performed by a really interesting mix of performers including John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting, Patti LuPone, Neil Sedaka, B.B. King and Davy Jones of Monkey fame. Highlights include Davy Jones singing "My Personal Penguin"...it's just so nice to hear his voice again and sing a song that's fun...and Patti LuPone singing the Rabbit Tango as only she could! The collection is right on target for kids without being about going to the potty or about your three year old's responsibility to the global community. It's happily and beautifully smart, intelligent and entertaining.
