Los Angeles, CA (April 19, 2007)— On April 28-29, 2007, Playdate Kids Publishing will be featuring their new musical series at the 2007 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on the UCLA campus. New for spring 2007, the Playdate Kids and their Caketown friends come back to share three rockin’ sing-along adventures sure to put a giggle and a wiggle into every child. These silly, nurturing and lively tales are universally relatable in young children’s issues such as:
• Self Esteem and Positive Self Image in The I Like Me Dance
• Personal Hygiene and Social Skills in Booger Boogie
• Potty Training and Privacy in Island Potty Party
Each musical book also includes a CD, a simple dance routine and sheet music. Publisher Tena Fanning says, “We plan to have an entertaining booth at the LA Times Festival of Books. Our author and music composer, Tim Friedlander will be joining us to play some music from our new book series. We truly feel that our catchy tunes are sure to become kids’ favorites and the adults will enjoy how the stories and lyrics promote good behavior or self-worth.”
Recently praised by parents and teachers for the amusing and effective life tools, The Playdate Kids musical series gives parents and children the tools they need to learn about hygiene, manners and self-confidence. The Playdate Kids books will be on sale at Booth #924 in zone I – Children’s Area South.
