We all need a little groovy time in our lives. Something to get us shaking our tails and moving to the drum of a different beat. For some fun children's music from Africa, here's a 10 song CD with catchy lyrics and rhythms that will have your kids bebopping and wiggling like a happy hippo or wondrous Warthog.

With lyrics that range from funny, to touching, to sleepy (every good children's CD needs a lullaby), Beautiful Creatures is a wonderful collection of African animal themed music that is "uniquely South African with a positive global message." We love to listen to it during craft time and have found it to be a great energizer for clean up time. The kids seem to move just a little bit faster and with a little more enthusiasm.
