OVER 20 NEW SONGS & PUPPET SKITS FOR THE 2012 SUMMER READING PROGRAM!



[http://www.zinghoppers.com/srpcd/LetsDreamAndRead.jpg] [http://www.zinghoppers.com/srpcd/FreeActivityGuide.jpg]  It's time to dream and read with award-winning innovative educators, the Zinghoppers.

Youth Librarians will appreciate this new collection of songs that promote reading and encourage positive behavior. Librarians can have fun using this CD as part of the 2012 Summer Reading Program, at the start of events or during storytime. Turn stressful moments into fun learning experiences with practical, simple activity songs and fun, easy-to-use puppet skits.

Written by the husband and wife teaching team of Kitty and Jack Norton, and developed with education experts at the Mayo Clinic and by the Education Advisory Board of their PBS show, their library CD was called, "a must-have for every librarian" by the American Library Association. In the past year, the Zinghoppers have been nominated for three EMMY Awards, on the GRAMMY nomination ballot and launched a successful show now broadcast on PBS television stations across America!

Recorded in Nashville (with some of Music City's top session musicians), this rockin' CD is designed to be enjoyed by preschoolers and elementary age children. Over 20 awesome, rockin' songs and puppet skits featuring band members from Rascal Flatts, Kellie Picker, John Fogerty, Keith Urban, Jessica Simpson, Steven Curtis Chapman, Johnny Cash and Gretchen Wilson's touring bands. Guaranteed to provide children with an outlet for wiggles, while giving their brains a jump start in literacy. The summer just got a lot more fun with this remarkable CD that's guaranteed to get kids reading and dreaming big at your library!
Each CD includes a FREE 50 page downloadable
Activity Guide with printables, lyrics, fun facts, craft ideas and more...only available through December!
