Product Description Music, food and good times just seem to go together. This summer, Putumayo Kids celebrates the joys of eating with a brand new, globe-trotting CD from their award-winning children's Playground series. To be released on July 28th, just in time to enhance summer get-togethers, Picnic Playground serves up a colorful basket full of tasty musical treats. Picnic Playground provides a veritable feast of international songs about food, cooking and healthy eating in a global gumbo of musical styles and languages. American artist Jay Mankita's opening song "Eat Like a Rainbow" sets the tone for the album, and the delectable songs that follow from Australia, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Canada and Trinidad add to the exuberant musical smörgåsbord.These fun, upbeat songs will help get kids moving and dancing to the rhythms. The artists on Picnic Playground sing so joyously about delicious food that you can almost taste it. Try Jose Conde's wonderful "Bolitas de Arroz con Pollo," chomp your way through Rhythm Child's "Bowl of Cherries" and taste the tropical flavors of Asheba's Caribbean "Ice Cream." Before you go, finish off the picnic with milk and cookies, courtesy of Donikkl's song "Milch" and Maggie G's "Let's Bake Cookies". Picnic Playground includes liner notes in three languages, English, French and Spanish, a child-friendly overview of the foods mentioned in the songs, as well as two recipes showing how to "Eat Like A Rainbow" by child nutritionist Barbara Storper, founder of FoodPlay. A portion of Putumayo's proceeds from the sale of Picnic Playground will be donated to Vitamin Angels, providing essential nutrients to children in the U.S. and around the world. About the Artist Putumayo World Music was established in 1993 to introduce people to the music of the world's cultures. The label grew out of Putumayo clothing company, founded by Dan Storper in 1975 and sold in 1997. Co-founder Michael Kraus joined Dan to launch Putumayo World Music and establish a non-traditional sales division. Putumayo World Music has become known primarily for its upbeat and melodic compilations of great international music characterized by the company's motto: "guaranteed to make you feel good!" Putumayo's CD covers feature the distinctive art of Nicola Heindl, whose colorful, folkloric style represents one of Putumayo's goals: to connect the traditional to the contemporary. By combining appealing music and visuals with creative retail marketing, Putumayo has developed a unique brand identity - a rarity in today's artist-based music industry.

Fabulous food themed tunes!
Love Putumayo! we have nearly 20 of their childrens cd's, they never disappoint. We've been able to introduce our children to a world of different cultures through their music and rhythm. Fun never ends with these collections! This one is no exception, great tracks, my kids listened to the whole thing twice before bed yesterday dancing along the whole time!

Picnic Playground
I actually give these as a gift to my Grandson. He absolutely loves the Putumayo Kids CD's. He has a few of them that I purchased for him. But then again he listens to music from different countries that he checks out at library. So I get him his own copy when he finds one he really likes. They have made great gifts for him in his case.

entertaining
I love Putumayo kids CD's. It is such happy music that offers great sounds along with sharing other international cultures. My 3 year old daughter always wants me to play the Spanish song. If you want to introduce your child to more than just English songs this is the CD. Putumayo offers many more CD's, but this one is our favorite.

Fun songs for kids that adults will enjoy hearing
Unlike the majority of kid-centric music, this CD is full of songs that are enjoyable for adults as well. The majority of songs (maybe all of them?) are sung by adults rather than a group of kids and the artists are varied & really good. We bought this before a long road trip with my 2-year-old and none of us got tired of it during the trip.

Lately, I have been trying to figure out what ...
Lately, I have been trying to figure out what the french words in "Mes Parents Sont Bio" mean. Thanks to the booklet that came with this CD,I now understand it.

love it
This was the first CD in this series that I bought for my son. Up until this point he had been used to music sung by children and he told me plainly that he did not like it. However, I pointed out to him how much fun Bolitas de Arroz con Pollo is as I sang along. He was also very intrigued by the steel drums in Ice Cream. By the third time I played it, he had come around. Now he loves this CD, and his favorite cuts are # 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, & 11. We listen to it in the car all the time and he sings along with all his favorites.

Sehr schöne abwechslungsreiche Musik, da aus verschiedenen Ländern und in verschiedenen Sprachen und Stilen. Gefällt unserer 4-Jährigen genauso gut wie uns und lädt zum Tanzen ein.
