Go Bananas at Bedtime!!

Award-winning national children’s musician SHANA BANANA with her most original CD yet --"BANANA BEDTIME!" Buy it Now!

Parent Review: "The word "obsessed" merely scrapes the surface of how Z is reacting to the new bedtime CD. We left it at home during our 2-week vacation. We arrived home around 11p, with Z still wide awake. First thing when we got to his room--we had to put the Shana Banana CD in! Have been listening to it steadily ever since our return. Papa Mango is the current favorite, though he is also fascinated by the stories and tells us to shush and listen. :-) " --Marnie, Gainesville FL Mom

BANANA BEDTIME covers all aspects of the bedtime experience. This 20 song CD starts at highter energy level, taking kids through the rituals of bedtime in Shana Banana's tradmark fun style, then gradually takes them down to sleep. This is not just a lullaby CD. Instead Shana gives preschool children the transitions they need, especially at bedtime. The CD is divided into three parts:

• "Getting Ready for Bed," which includes up beat tunes about bath time, pajamas and tooth brushing.
• "Transition Songs and Stories."
• And finally "Lullabies."

Shana encourages parents to use this CD to customize bedtime for their kids. If your child is full of energy and not ready to sleep, start the CD from the beginning, working with that energy. If they are ready for bed but are still not completely drowsy, utilize the slower songs and stories to enhance the transition. It they're already good and sleepy, the lullabies will do the trick.

As the mother of two little ones, Shana Banana has had the opportunity to research, develop and beta-test this CD from concept to creation firsthand. Once again she worked with the wonderful James Coffey at Blue Vision Music (www.bluevisionmusic.com) to produce this project, and is very excited to share the result with parents and children. She also presents the program "Banana Bedtime" as a live show with a pajama party theme!
