Jon Sprout: American Heroes #3 CD

Wednesday, April 29, 2009 Posted by Felicia

I think that most of us, kids included, learn best through song or using rhymes. Jon Sprout takes his music and makes it educational with a rock and roll beat! How many times when kids are young are they asked to name their Heroes or people that they admire? It seems like this is the topic of many projects and school presentations. American Heroes 3 is a compilation of songs about 12 different heroes from our American history: Milton Hershey, John Muir, Elizabeth Blackwell, Jonas Salk, Jane Addams, George Washington Carver, Wilma Rudolph, Thomas Jefferson, Pocahontas, and Cesar Chavez.

This Jon Sprout CD is more than just kids music, it is educational music that tells the story of some very important people from our history. Jon finds a way to make the words and music flow while truly telling the story so that children can recall the important facts! This CD would be wonderful paired with books about the actual people! What a great way to learn about the past!

Parents will enjoy the fact that this music is easy to listen to! Jon Sprout has a nice, smooth voice and uses several different instruments and styles to help capture the emotion and importance of what our American Heroes accomplished! These songs are all true ballads! These would be great for parents to help get their kids a jump start for loving history!

This giveaway has ended! Congratulations to Staci and alissa4illustration.
