A Fun New Album from The Award Winning Battersby Duo

PreS-Gr 3—Laura and Tim, the award-winning Battersby Duo, wrote the 15 silly songs for this fun album. Inspired by the artistic creativity of youngsters in a kindergarten class, each tune has color related to it in some way. Most of them are performed in a 60s folk/rock style, with some blues and jazz included. Tim enhances the album with his entertaining British, Cockney, Scottish, and other accents. Bagpipes, harmonica, kazoo, and xylophone join with guitars, piano, and drums to give the songs extra pizzazz. In "Buttercup the Bovine," a person thinks that his cow is a cat. Other songs include "Bumble Bee Blues," "Color Me Eric," "The Citrus Song," "Elephant's Toenails," and others. and cover topics such as painting, reading, the alphabet, and riding bikes. Fans of the duo will welcome this album.—Beverly Bixler

Painting Box. Fresh Clever and Imaginative

\"The personification of the Painting Box and all the colors, is fresh, clever and imaginative. I was really taken with the lyrics, which are superb and well-crafted. The character voices on Painting Box are outstanding and add drama. Additionally the lyrics offer challenging words that teach vocabulary with ease to preschool aged children.\"
