My Thoughts:
I love dancing around the house with my 18 month old daughter, Savannah. This is one of the perks of being a parent, that I have learned. I can act and dance all silly and she will eat it up. I don't have impress her with fancy dance steps, as all she expects from me is to spin her around and dance all with her. It is a great feeling, and one of my favorite day-to-day activities that I do with her. As soon as the radio or CD is playing, we are dancing and singing. She is my little Dancing Queen.
And, thanks to Jim Gill and his new CD, Music Play for Folks of all Stripes, we are having a blast dancing to his tunes. We especially love Habanera La La La and Two for Tea. This CD will have you dancing along with your child, bonding in a way you never did before. And, this will help with their overall development and self-esteem.
In addition to this CD, you also receive a DVD, which contains music videos of select songs from Music Play for Folks of All Stripes. I have listened to and purchased numerous music CDs for children, but have to say that this is one of my favorites, as it offers a variety of musical styles. This is a great way to expose your child to music they would otherwise not listen to, like jazz, classical, country, etc.
So, if you are looking for a great CD of music for your child, why not check out Jim Gill's musical selections. You can visit his website and hear clips of his songs from this and his other CDs, to get a taste of his musical style.

Jim Gill is a musician and author with unique credentials among
children’s artists. Jim is a child development specialist, having
