Jump and jive with this funky band of mini-beasts, as they play their cool calypso beats! Introducing guitar-strumming ladybirds, trombone-blowing dragonflies and piano-tinkling centipedes, the catchy Music CD which accompanies the book will have everyone singing along enthusiastically. The counting theme throughout helps young learners with their numbers up to ten, and there are lots of creepy-crawly facts at the back of the book, in addition to information about the Caribbean and calypso bands.

This is a fantastic book and the accompanying CD is amazing.
I'm a supply music teacher and I've used this with children as young as 3! Today I introduced it to a class of 8 year olds who all moaned that it looked too babyish for them.
Two minutes later they were transfixed!
It's great for introducing children to calypso music and to different instruments. It makes you want to book that holiday to the Caribbean!
Can't praise this book and CD highly enough!

Creepy Crawly Calypso.
I'm a primary school teacher and this book is good for enhancing activtiies aboout minibeasts. The chhildren enjoyed dancing to the music on the CD although they found it quite hard to sing along at first as this is quite fast for little ones. There is scope for lots of counting in the book and matching different instruments to the sounds they make.

it's ok
If you want something fun to sing and dance to with your kids, this is NOT the book for you. The 'Animal Boogie' book is much better for that.
