Our CD,
Bunches of Beasts,
is a winner of a 2007 NAPPA Honors Award, presented by the National Parenting Publications Association (NAPPA), and a Finalist for a Children's Music Web Award. NAPPA says: "These lively stories overflow with catchy chants and tunes. This sing-along, tell-along, stick-in-your-head fun for young listeners is a blast.
