Congratulations to Charlene and thank you to everyone who entered!

Big Green Alligator by La-La-Lisa

This has got to be one of the cutest kids’ cds that I have heard.  No annoying voices, just a lot of fun songs from a lady with a beautiful voice.

I got this CD the other day, popped it in the CD player in the car when we left to go out and, seriously, you should have seen Alyce bopping a long with it.  Right in time with the music.  The next day, I popped it in when Pato was in the car.  He kept saying, look at Alyce.  Look at her!  Honey, I know.  She did it the whole time we had it on the other day.  She loves it.

Katiana has now been requesting the “Big Green Alligator” CD while she’s picking up her room.  She loves it too.  Jordan hasn’t had the privilege of listening to it yet as he was at his dad’s this weekend.  He’ll get his turn I’m sure.  The title song is actually my favorite on the album.  Lisa Weyerhaeuser made up that song 15 years ago on a road trip and here she is today with it on her album.

I love this about her music -

“I put a lot of questions into the lyrics of Big Green Alligator – ‘Where did we come
from, where are we going, and how did you find your way to me?’ – because I wanted
kids to feel like they could ask this character anything. I believe it is essential for kids to
learn to express their feelings at early ages. I want them to know that if they are shy,
it’s ok. If they feel sad about something, it’s ok. There is a freedom in learning to
correctly express emotions. If kids can learn how to do that when they are young, it
will be more natural for them to do as they get older.”

It’s nice to have a kids’ cd that my kids want to listen to that isn’t full of just plain silly songs with no meaning.  Her songs had meaning.  Another favorite of mine on the album is My Little Brother.  I think it’s so neat.  And I think she wrote it just for Jordan.  (Except you can insert sisters for brother, at least until Christiano is a little older.  Unless of course Jordan wakes up on the couch and catches Christiano in his room right at this moment.)

If you go here, you can listen to her music before you buy the CD.

You can buy the CD on Amazon here on Amazon here. You can also snag the MP3 album for $8.99 on Amazon here.
