PreS-Gr 3—The eighth recording for kids by Rymer jumps out of the gate with the title song, an R & B tune that features vocals, piano, and horns. Rymer and the Little Band That Could keep things cooking with 11 more original songs that reflect a range of American musical styles. After the rocking "Don't Knock It Till You Try It," they continue with the folksy "Me on the Map" (a learning experience of seeing one's geographical relationship to others) and "Switcheroo Day." They then move on to big band numbers "I Survived Myself" (a challenge to attempt things not done before) and "Chain Reaction"; slide into country tunes with "It's a Beauty" (a celebration about a 1933 pumper fire truck), "Dress in Blue," "One Day by the Riverside," and "Hold This Home Together"; and finally slow it down for ballads "The Only One" (a song about maintaining individuality) and "Your Love Turns the World Around." In the closer, "One Day by the Riverside," Rymer and the band look forward to getting together in the future.
