Heart Beats: Feel Good Songs for Families by Assorted Artists

Warning: family bonding is bound to occur when listening to this compilation CD from artists like Caspar Babypants, Joanie Leeds & the Nightlights and Laurie Berkner. It will soon be your favorite.

 

 

 

Parker’s Place by Parker Bent

No one will tire of these tunes by artist Parker Bent, I promise! You will laugh, sing along and maybe keep the jams playing long after the kids have zonked out from all that fun.

 

 

 

 

In a Pickle by Dre Towey

Every song on this CD is a delicious romp through new songs and fresh takes on older ones too. Yum!

 

 

 

 

 

Rocksteady by Josh and the Jamtones

This CD has everything – it’s a little bit reggae, a little bit big band, a little bit rock. But whatever it is, it will get your little bits up and dancing. And even if you are stuck in the car, that car ride will be hopping!

Here at the Vernon Area Public Library, we use the five early literacy practices — TALK, SING, READ, WRITE, PLAY — as the foundation for all of our storytimes. It’s never too early to start on these five activities to set the stage for reading readiness.

We offer storytimes beginning at birth, and all are welcome to stop by and visit — no library card required. But if you are a resident, you can sign up for your library card while you are here! Find our calendar of storytimes and other events.

If you would like more information about early literacy, what is happening at the library, and a printable calendar, subscribe to our quarterly Early Literacy eNewsletter.
