Carolyn Ravanera The Insect Songs stirred my niece and nephew’s little hands and feet into ecstacy! I’m not kidding! When I put on the CD they both ran from the bedroom into the living room and started to laugh, sing and dance - Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz! Hop! Hop! Hop! I was amazed to see them enjoy themselves so much. It was so much fun that I had to get into the action. When “Marching Ants” came on we all marched around the house - this was Christian’s favorite because he likes marching. Cassandra was especially tickled with “Sandra the Spider” - you see, that’s her name. They kept asking me, What’s next? What’s next? We all LOVED it! They asked me to play the CD THREE TIMES! The second time around, they were so quiet listening to “Insects Prelude”, but when “Five Little Insect Friends” came on they exploded into action! It’s really thoughtful how the songs on the album are organized - the soothing songs being at the end to calm things down - I really needed it! Ha! Ha! Ha! Sandi’s voice is so lovely and relaxing. You are geniuses! You’ve created such a wonderful cast of characters that I wish there was a companion book. We are all very much looking forward to your next children’s CD. Kathy Guiteras Your Insect Songs CD is a great hit with all three of us - and with our baby sitter! It has been played almost non-stop all day. Christopher has most of the words memorized already and Alex knows exactly when to say the catch phrases and when to hop! hop! hop! It is so special and so wonderful to hear your voices filling our home. We’re listening to the Insect Songs as I type. The CD is very well loved and very well worn already! It’s played every single night in either Alex’s or Christopher’s bedroom and often during the day. Since it’s the only thing they want to listen to, I ration them to two nights each before it changes rooms! It’s a smash hit in this house! Beth Kujala I love Insect Songs. I can’t wait for my nephews to hear it. You sound wonderful. The songs are pure and witty, appealing and never condescending - isn’t that the key to writing for kids? Hearing children’s voices at the beginning, talking about insects and using the word “free” in some context, is particularly sweet and touching - it gets a child’s attention straight away! I especially love the lyrics. I also LOVE the artwork - the CD calls out for an accompanying book for as I listen to the songs I can visualize each character. What beautiful work! Sarah Weck My niece, Julia, adores the insect CD. I was at my sister’s apartment last weekend and we listened to the CD at least four times. It’s very clever. I think you’ve really got something very special! .... so put your legs together and play your violin.... Sean McKenna Loved the album. Very clever and very cute. Great fun! You can NOT have it back, my friend. I like the ‘Beetles’ a lot. Martin Smith Kimmy (and her friends) LOVE the Insect Songs CD. It’s played often (almost too often, if you know what I mean?…) Congratulations! I think you have a great big ‘hit’. Ken Bodenhamer Thank you so much for the Insect Songs CD - I love it! My mother loves it too! I caught her singing along and keeping time with her feet. It has become one of our favorites to listen to on our drive to Kansas City. How fantabulous! You should send a copy to Rosie O’Donnell - she and her kids would love it! I hope the album gets the attention it deserves. See what the Insects are Saying: Butterfly: Thank you Sandi & Stevie for writing such a beautiful song about me. Ants: It’s amazing how Sandi & Stevie managed to write and sing about our habits so perfectly. They must have spent a lot of time studying us. Dragonfly: Sandi, your voice is so beautiful! I cried when I first heard you sing my song! If I stop eating flies will I get a voice like that? Grasshopper: I enjoyed working in harmony with you both. I had a really fun time. I'll hop! to do it again with you on your next album (if you can catch me)! Ladybird: It’s no secret - the Insects Songs are fabulous! Haven’t you heard? Beetles: We keep battling over who keeps the CD! Couldn’t we have had one each? Greedy Wasp: I hope you guys make a fortune from this album! I want my 10% cut! Itchy Flea: Hey! I never got paid for singing on this CD! I'm going to make that Sandi & Stevie do the Itchy Itchy Dance when I get a chance! Cockroach: Thanks Sandi & Stevie for treating me with such respect when we worked on The Running Cockroach together (I wrote the words). The Spider: I’m not happy with Sandi & Stevie. They make me out to be one nasty spider. It’s not fair! Where did Samson that fat Horsefly go? - I’m starving! The Horsefly: Slurp! That tea was great! That nasty Sandra the Spider doesn’t know that my friendly cousin Fuzzy Fly told me where she hides her tea. I’m out o’here! The Moth: Ooh! Sandi & Stevie’s garden looks inviting, think I’ll mosey on into it!
