This collection of 18 music videos featuring the songs of Hap Palmer cover a wide range of early learning, including the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, and rhyming. The songs use repetition, recall, and rhyme while the video clips show real kids doing real everyday activities: going to bed, waking up, getting dressed, eating meals, making crafts, and playing. Hap Palmer strives to integrate his music with movement, in an effort to encourage the natural inclination for children to get up and move around. Thus, many of the songs invite children to participate in the hand movements, dance moves, and stick tapping that are going on in the video. This multiple award-winning early learning tool may just be a DVD, but it comes close to matching the interaction young children would experience in an actual preschool setting.
