Fins and Grins

From the bayou to the ocean, kids will have a whale of a good time with this CD from multi-award winning children’s musician Johnette Downing. The album is dedicated to the marine animals at New Orleans’ Aquarium of the Americas who perished in Hurricane Katrina, and their caretakers. It’s an “example of how music can be used to present lessons on zoology and ecology in a memorable, engaging way…packaged in songs that are musically satisfying enough to hold up magnificently under repeated adult listening,” Elizabeth Waldman Frazier of Waldmania! told TDmonthly. A minimum order of five is required. Launch date: February 13, 2007.
