•  I love your CD. It's so cool! It's my favourite. Courtney, age 9
• I was at the ECEC conference in Edmonton and I bought your package and CD. I teach music and English to the French students plus have a music listening time for the whole school each morning. I started with your song Wishy Washy- the whole school   K- Grade Three. Well I had mothers in the mall, bus drivers, fellow teachers singing
  this too. Then I did Don't Look Under My Bed and the Banana Split Song. It
  was so funny. I had on an old pair of tight pants and I bent over and they split. I thought there is humour everywhere - especially when we were singing about the banana split. Our principal is most impressed with  your CD and parents are asking about it. Today one of the teachers said two little girls were on the swings singing Banana Split. I just thought you might like to know. I have even used the song Wishy Washy in my English class and we had a debate about who was right. Then we each took a different point of view and wrote letters. What a blast. Thank you.
