Stuff those stockings with a little
Staci Gray!
There’s still time to pick up
The Crocodile Dance, Austin based children’s performer, Staci Gray’s recently released CD. And it is getting rave reviews from local preschoolers! It has already become Baby Scoop Austin’s four-year-old CEO (Chief Entertainment Officer), Olivia O’Bannon’s, favorite CD.
Kids will giggle, clap, and dance a jig to songs like “Silly Things”, where Staci and her tot-sized back-up “noise makers” have a blast making silly noises mixed with a catchy-sing-a-long song. Even more silly is “What’s that Smell”, a funky retro rock tune describing smells of all sorts from roses to chocolate chip cookies to stinky diapers and trash cans.
Staci’s exuberant personality and love of children shines through each song, with each being surprisingly different from the next, she keeps you wanting more. The songs of the
The Crocodile Dance tell stories and teach lessons like, “I love Being Green” where Staci and the kids remind young listeners to “turn off the water when brushing your teeth” and “click the light” off when you leave the room.
Just wait until you hear what Mingo can do! Who’s Mingo? Just listen to the cd and you will love him too!
Also, this is a great new cd to pick up if you are planning a road trip for Christmas.
Great instrumentals, sound effects and vocals make this cd fun for the whole family. Parents, you will even find yourself belting out the lyrics and tapping your finger on the steering wheel to these catchy tunes even after you drop the kids off at preschool.
(Believe me, it happend to me today!) The cd can be purchased at any one of Staci's live shows, Book People, Austin Baby, and Austin Children's Museum. For more info about booking Staci Gray and her cd, go to
