Move Like An Animal features tropical Latin beats and catchy pop refrains that will get kids to shake their tail feathers while learning about wildlife. Even discriminating growups will let the rhythm get them.
In addition to being soulful and fun, this CD teaches kids about animals and helps guide them through life. The song “Chimpanzees” shows us that all creatures are equal. And “I’m a Toucan” and “Running Far” explain how to overcome obstacles and pursue your passions. Find out why gerbils are doing the "Furry Belly Dance” and what the cottontail rabbit’s best defense is! And don't miss stellar guest vocals from Mista Cookie Jar and Aaron Nigel Smith on the "Snail Cha Cha." Other featured musicians include: stunning guitarist Omar Torrez (Tom Waits 2008 tour), kindie keyboardist Mike Schmid (Miley Cyrus tour), master drummer Chris Wabich (Sheila E, Sting recordings), two-time HBO Def Poet Joe Hernández-Kolski and multi-national crooner Jonny Blu.
