Purchase Reaching For The Stars! 
Picture
This is the sixth recording by Kathy Reid-Naiman and like the five before, it is packed with great songs, beautifully arranged, produced and accompanied by Ken Whiteley. He is joined by Arnie Naiman, Chris Whiteley, Erynn Marshall, Debbie Carroll and Eve Goldberg to name just a few of the many musicians and singers who make this CD sparkle. These are the songs that Kathy has been using in her children’s music programs for many years. They are the ones that the children ask for over and over again. There’s ‘The Truck Song’ where they can sing about their favourite construction vehicle, Jack’s House and of course, Reaching for the Stars!
 M0501

Review
When Kathy Reid-Naiman sings, it's playtime, dance time and bounce-on-the-knee time. Her buoyant soprano invites preschoolers to sing along and act out the sunny lyrics of a jam-packed 25 tracks. Children can "dig, dig, dig" on a building crew, trot and gallop, pick buttercups, quack and moo, tap out a tick-tock rhythm and much more. Reid-Naiman's CD notes provide parents with a guide to the songs' fingerplays and other imagination-stirring activities for some quality sharing time.
