Children's Music that Rocks: Friday Free-for-All #17
Music for kids that doesn't make adults want to rip their hair out. I'll go out and find the good stuff so you don't have to. The opinions expressed in this blog are mine, and mine alone. The New York Public Library is not associated with this blog in any way.

If your little ones like the dance pop of, say, Kelly Clarkson, then they'll dig Dawnie’s  third CD for kids, "Dancing in the Schoolyard". Lots of guitars and dance grooves accompany tunes about dancing, spiders, dancing, hopping, dancing, fishing, and ... more dancing! New Jersey-based “Dawnie,” Dawne Allynne is involved in the bluesy, rootsy music scene in the Northeast, and you can hear it in her tunes for kids. An album full of movement songs for kids who like to shimmy and shake.
