HAILEYBURY, ON, CANADA, October 09, 2010 (Press-News.org) In a country that not so long ago dominated the global market in children's entertainment for both quality and quantity, we are, today, left with only one producer of high quality children's literature and music. Montreal-based The Secret Mountain provides innovative packaging with a full-length CD in every volume and a suggested price point of $ 22.95 for the book/CD combination and $ 12.95 for the Digipak CD.
Narrated by prominent Grammy-nominated artist Bebel Gilberto, and Canadian stage star David Francis, Swing Cafe was written by Carl Norac, the award-winning author of more than 40 children's books. The story of a Brazilian cricket with a dream of singing in New York who hitchhikes on a woman's fruit hat to Manhattan and the Swing Cafe on East 54th Street where everyone speaks the common language of swing. Encouraged to take to the stage, she sings from the heart and delivers the performance of a lifetime. The accompanying disc is a classic jazz album on its own, a treasure-chest of original recordings by musical titans such as Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and Lionel Hampton, among others, performing gems such as "Manuella" by Carmen Miranda, "Chinatown" by Chet Atkins, "Daybreak Express" by Ellington, Fitzgerald's "Sing Me a Swing Song", by Cab Calloway and Clarence Caskill's "Tiger Rag" performed by The Mills Brothers. Swing Cafe is illustrated by veteran Rebecca Dautremer.
The Little Blue Doggy features 13 songs that were written in French 50 years ago by composer/lyricist Lionel Daunais, recently inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. The story of a little blue doggy victimized by famished mites after being left alone at home by his peculiar parents is translated and performed by Michelle Campagne and her family with illustrations by Marie Lafrance.
