2011 Holiday Gift Guide – A Duck in New York City

A Duck In New York City Storybook CD

Technology and gadgets is enjoyed primarily by adults, but this shouldn’t keep our little kids from learning through them as well. More and more children and educational CD’s are coming out to entertain kids from all ages. Some unique and fun examples are musical books which you can play and read along with them on your tablet PC or your laptop.

It was fortunate that I got a storybook with fun music CD and illustrations that keeps my daughter awed and interested. The musical book A Duck in New York City features a little duck who hails from Prairies with big dreams. He made it to New York City and danced his ducky way to Broadway. The story book presents an adventurous trip that seemed to head for failure. Then he met a truck driver named Big Betty who showed him how to tackle New York City!

The storybook-musical CD will be great to have on your iPad or your computer. My daughter enjoys singing and reading along book. Singer-songwriter Connie Kaldor created additional songs such as alligators waltzing at midnight, slugs singing opera songs sneaking out at night to dance the boogie and little girls singing off-key tunes to have tomatoes thrown at them. Everything will be a new experience for you and your kids with this book and CD tandem.
