Ellen Kjelgaard Godula and Brian Godula
Zoppa Records 2004

If you liked reading the poem "Wynken, Blynken and Nod" in the July/August issue of Ladybug, I think you'll really dig the musical version on this jazzy album. The Godulas set classic children's poems to soothing music--you will hear gentle pianos, happy flutes, and violins. It's the kind of music that makes you feel like you're floating on a cloud. My favorite is "Starfish," about one of the most magical ocean creatures: "Brave star, I hope that you will lie lazily here/and never try to jump back into the sky." I love listening to this album when the sun is setting and it's almost time to go to bed. Your parents will like the album, too!

Parents: You can hear music samples and order this CD on the Zoppa Records Web site, and also find it on Amazon.com.
