Can Cockatoos Count By Twos?
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Hap Palmer goes about educating children through almost entirely organic means--he writes catchy tunes that involve a variety of games, stories, and activities that involve kids and parents both during the music and beyond it. Can Cockatoos Count by Twos? cites a handful of high objectives in its liner notes: For kids to "enhance listening and comprehension skills"; to "teach basic academic concepts"; to "increase vocabulary and stimulate language proficiency"; to "develop fitness and basic motor skills"; to "foster the recognition of rhythm and melody"; and to "encourage problem solving and creativity." A tall set of ideals, indeed, but Palmer lives up to each goal, aiming these creative songs at the twin targets of entertainment and edification. Each song's lyrics has explanations of the objectives, ideal settings for playing along, and a description of the ideal activity. Palmer has a supple enough voice that he melds in with the mostly acoustic instruments on Cockatoos, but he avoids becoming sonic wallpaper and provides kids with understandable, fun narratives. --Andrew Bartlett

Hap Palmer knows kids.......2007-02-08
We have at least 3 Hap Palmer CD's and my kids (6 and 4) love them. His music is catchy, the words easy to remember, and at the same time teach some kind of mathematical or language concept. I highly recommend any Hap Palmer CD.
