I discovered this delightful book - one of a few with CDs included - from Barefoot Books at Book Expo in New York last month. I see that it's been out a while and there are a lot of reviews. But in reading the reviews I noticed a few things about this book are missing and maybe those who have the book aren't getting the full enjoyment from it.Most folks (I've not read all the reviews) talk about the colorful illustrations (they are) and the song on the CD. What many don't realize is that the singer is Fred Penner , a Canadian who specializes in kids music and has been releasing albums since the mid 1980s. He even had a TV show on the CBC. If you like Fred's voice you might want to "google" his name and discover more of his music.The next thing is that I'm not sure that many of those who purchased this book realize that the CD does play in their CD player as an audio CD but it's really a CD-ROM and if you put it in your PC Drive, click on the drive and then on the Win.exe icon it will open to become a multimedia version. First you can watch the ANIMATED version of the story with Fred singing. Then you can choose the version with the "bouncing ball" and follow along. A third option is to have just the music (karaoke-style) with the printed lyrics and you can "be the star" as the video says. When I say the word "you" I mean you and your child (or children).So, if you are reading this review and already own the book, and haven't put the disc in your PC yet.... Go ahead... you'll find new ways to enjoy it.I hope you found this review both informative and helpful.Steve Ramm"Anything Phonographic"
My boys love reading Animal Boogie and my 3 year old often requests to keep it on his bed so he can read it by himself when he wakes up in the morning. Both he and his 16 month old brother love the lyrics and the tune. We have made up motions to go with the words and they love dancing to the book. I was thankful that our copy came with a CD so I could learn the right tune. There is music on the last page, but I had a hard time figuring out the rythym of the last page, so I was thankful for the CD. I think their favorite is the Bear! Shake Shake Boogie Woogie Oogie!! They just giggle, it's so cute!
We checked this out at the library and after one reading I knew we needed our own copy. We've had it for a year now and they still squeal when I take it from the shelf. We made up our own motions to go with the lyrics. The girls love pointing out the colorful birds and critters in the pictures so much, it takes forever to read it,... It's a delight!I was happy to see that on this web page credit is given to the woman who wrote the lyrics. Our copy only has Debbie Harter's name on it (and I looked for a writer's name). ... Stella Blackstone earned it--this book is a riot.
Although this book references jungle animals, I use it as an activity when teaching my K-2 about the rainforest. The children absolutely love it. It can also be used as a way to compare the animals in the jungle vs the animals in the rainforest. This year the children put on a performance with the music from the CD. The children's faces were painted according to the animal they represented and they danced away. Just a little imagination and the ideas from this book can be endless....
Barefoot singalong books are the best! You can't go wrong and you can preview them all on youtube as a collection or individually. We love The Animal Boogie. Good for singing now and dancing shortly. If I had little ones in the classroom, I'd snatch it up!
This is a cute book with a sweet CD that children find engaging. I bought it for use during library classes I teach in a K-6 school. I use it with special education students because they need the music as well as the text to keep interested.
I love all of the Barefoot Books! It's a great way for little ones to learn animals, shapes, all kinds of different things! The music is very catchy! They can just watch the video or follow along with the book!
My 3 year old grandson first heard this story (and song) from his preschool teacher. We then found a version on YouTube, which he enjoys regularly. I bought the book for his birthday...and it was a favorite gift! He so enjoys looking at every detail of the pictures, and then acting out what he sees. This book is a treasure.
