Coal Train RailRoad - A Must for Your Kid's Music Collection

My nanny, Katie, is so wonderful with Julia. She genuinely loves children and it shows when she's with Julia. Julia lights up when she sees Katie because she knows the fun thats in store. So it makes perfect sense that Katie sings kids music and sing it she does!

Her CD, Coal Train RailRoad,  is a children's CD but with a modern jazzy feel and lyrics that covers all the main children's themes. Say good-bye to your traditional kids music. Song titles like "What Mine is Yours" and "It's Hard To Listen" address the social learning while "My Bellybutton Stays the Same" and "My Mouth and Me" teaches children about their bodies. My favorite tune is "Snuggling Suits Me Just Fine" which encourages everyone's favorite thing -"snuggling"! This CD is great for adults too. I love to have it playing in the background while I work and Julia plays. It's has a soothing sound that just puts you in a peaceful place.

This is a must have for your kids music collection at any age. My daughter is only 6 months but she loves to listen to Coal Train RailRoad during her playtime. I can see it easily being one of her favorite CD's and dancing around the house shouting "All Aboard"  and stating "Just the Juice, Jack" when she's ready for juice.

From an educator's standpoint this CD covers many of the multiple intelligences. Children will learn visually/spatially, verbally, bodily,  interpersonally, intrapersonally, and musically of course. Learning should be fun to be successful and this CD definately gives kids the opportunity to have fun and be successful learners!
