Original, funky songs for happy and confident kids!

Too old for nursery rhymes!
Too young for pop!

The perfect CD of 16 original songs for children who are outgrowing nursery rhymes, but a bit too young for pop music. Mainstream pop often contains lyrics that are not appropriate for young children.
Groovy Tunes has all the excitement of pop songs, but contain lyrics that are relevant to children's lives, for example, listening to your heart, dealing with changes, relationships with parents and friends, feeling special and feeling proud.
Singing about these issues helps to support children and increase their confidence and self-esteem.
Contains free 20 page illustrated lyric booklet!

"Wonderful, catchy songs," Guild of Songwriters

"We all know the problem in finding good songs for 4 - 8 year olds. Nursery rhymes are too babyish, but the only alternative up to now seems to be TV pop. I really am not happy about my five year old daughter singing about being sexy and angsting about her appearance and teenage relationships. She'll have plenty time for this when she is a teenager! I really recommend Groovy Tunes as the songs really make sense to my children's lives now."
Richard Pearson, Father and teacher

"Both my kids ask me to sing 'You're the Best Thing' to them every night so that they go to sleep feeling loved and special. They also love singing 'Rush Hour' in the car in the morning because it's about the school run and has lots of sound effects. This really is a great CD, and important too as it's all about being happy and confident with yourself as a kid."
Maria Nelson. Mother and Educational Psychologist
