LET'S MAKE MUSIC, SING WITH ME Created and produced with the help of a Speech Language Pathologist, this CD has 10 popular children's songs purposely set to a slower tempo to encourage and accommodate music-loving children who are learning to talk and sing. The songs begin slow and increase in tempo as the verses repeat.  There are 5 sound tracks included at the end of the CD so children can sing-along karaoke style.  The CD tray also includes an 18 page Companion Book to be used as a resource tool for parents and children as they listen and sing-along.  It has easy to follow pictures and icons repeated throughout the book for early literacy skills, as well as the signed alphabet.
