Macaroni Soup with Miss Carole knows what children like - to move, to sing, to dance! At the same time, this CD is 'sneakily educational.' Have you ever had a child hit you instead of giving you a 'high 5?' Got it covered. Looking for a high energy song about groundhogs - first do the 'Groundhog Pop-Up' fingerplay, then rock out with 'The Groundhog Jive!' If you've enjoyed Miss Carole's other work - 'Sticky Bubble Gum' or 'Season Sings' - you'll go nuts for this one, too! Great band, easy to understand, fab liner-notes for teachers and songs that kids will ask for again and again! FUN for everyone!
