A Message from Mary G:

JUST RELEASED!! “The Apple Twistin’ Song”
by Cheryl Smith & Mary G. Furlong


Your kids will be up on their feet dancing and singing while learning about the different varieties of apples and the right way to pick them so the trees are not injured. Did you know there is a right and wrong way to “pick” an apple? You will after singing “The Apple Twistin’ Song”!


We are very excited to announce the long awaited arrival of “5 Monkeys & Little Crocodile”! This storybook/mp3 has a very important message about anti-bullying and if a child should find him or herself in this situation, what they can do! There are also facts about the specific type of monkey and crocodile featured in the story. Last Spring, after visiting several schools and performing the “5 Monkeys & Little Crocodile” story & song, I asked the students to vote on which species of monkey they would like to see in the book. Their choices were the Central/South American Spider Monkey or the African Vervet or “Green” Monkey. The “croc is out of the bag”! The winner is.....

The African Vervet Monkey!
