The children's songs on this album are great fun for toddlers and young children. They are cheerful songs that invite to move and sing along.
 
The songs are sung by Lisa Poelma. Her beautiful and clear voice fits perfectly to these songs!
The lyrics and the music were created and played by me.
The illustrations for the CD and the CD inlay were made by Ramona Treffers. Her beautiful illustration style was exactly what I was looking for for this CD!

Overview of the songs
 
Two Little Captains
 
This song is about two little captains on a ship.
During the song, their ship gets in worse and worse shape, the mast breaks (breaking wood recorded) and the ship becomes a wreckage.
In the last chorus they have no ship anymore, they just float around in a barrel...
 
Sprout Monkey
 
This song is about a small monkey, that does not like bananas, but small cabbage (Brussel's sprouts). The whole family is calling to come into the banana trees, but the little monkey wants small cabbage. So the little monkey searches and searches, here, there and everywhere, with fingers and toes, under rocks and stones, but small cabbage seems nowhere to be found...
But then, finally, the little monkey sees a small cabbage plant, races towards it and plucks a small cabbage sprout.
 
Sprout Monkey in the Jungle
 
This song is the same story and the same lyrics as the second song, but - to depict a jungle - with much more percussion and with various animal sounds that I recorded with permission in Burgers' Zoo.
 
The Crocodile with the Very Long Snout
 
This song is about a crocodile with a very long snout, who likes to talk very much.
But because of it's long snout, it talks very, very, v-e-r-y slow (the music slows down).
Because of that, everybody falls asleep.
Seeing that, the crocodile gets angry that nobody listens and storms off.
The song ends telling that that's why crocodiles keep their snout under water.
