Album DescriptionThe best TOOL for SCHOOL! The second in this multi-interactive music series, "Smart Songs 2" introduces educational topics to young preschool through kindergarten age children in a fun-filled musical way. Kids learn about cleaning up, using the potty, brushing their teeth, good manners, spatial awareness, days of the week, Spanish animals, counting patterns, opposites, short vowels, and more. A variety of subjects and concepts are set to lyrics that encourage children to sing along, mimic a phrase, move as directed, or shout a response. These songs provide a great foundation for what kids learn at home, as well as in school, and this producer is recognized by companies such as Scholastic, and associations such as NAPPA, for the quality, educational value and/or gross motor skill development that their titles offer. A quick-view teaching guide is printed on the inside cover. Guest singers are Tim Russ (Tuvok), and Robert Picardo (The Doctor) from the TV series, Star Trek: Voyager. Lyrics, teaching, tips, and free educational activities can be printed from the AbridgeClub.com website, where comments and content suggestions are welcome. Recommended for age toddler and up. Also available: "Smart Songs for Kids 1", and the gross motor skill music series featured in Scholastic's "Early Childhood Today Magazine": "Hoppin' & Boppin' for Youngsters" on CD, "Animal Romp & Stomp for Kids" on CD, "Movin' & Shakin' for Youngsters" on Video and CD.
