Music Review of the Week: Catch A Wave: Beach Songs for Kids

June 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Catch A Wave: Beach Songs for Kids is simply fun for young kids! So, this isn’t quite as “cool” as the Beach Boys, but it has catchy classic songs that are sure to bring back childhood memories for Mom and Dad and kids will enjoy the catchy tunes.  Fun songs such as Catch A Wave, Surfin’ Safari, Little Old Lady from Pasadena and Surfin’ U.S.A ..you may even find yourself singing along! Younger kids will enjoy the classic sing-along beach songs even if it isn’t the Beach Boys. We received this fun CD from our friends at Music For Little People. You can purchase the CD at Amazon.com If you would like more information about the record label, check out their website!
