Just Say Hi!

PreS-Gr 3—Listeners of all ages will be hoppin' and boppin' to Rymer's seventh album. This well-crafted, musically thoughtful album of original songs leads listeners into another world with stories of being brave when meeting someone new or having a crush on the ice cream girl. Toe-tappin' rockabilly, funky New Orleans beats, cool reggae, and always-fun ragtime make for a well-rounded musical journey. If anyone in the family is feeling down, just play "Dance 'til I Drop" or "Gettin' My Ya Ya's Out." The humorous "Pet Song" is sung from the perspective of the pet who is thankful for all of the nice things his owner does for him. "Light of Love" closes the album with an inspirational message of "shining your little light of love on anyone you meet." The professional production quality and high level of musicianship make this a top-notch choice for any library. Adults may find themselves listening to this CD even when the kiddos are nowhere to be found. This album will be a huge hit.—Caitlyn Walsh, Fayetteville Public Library, AR
