Triumph
My first Early years production aged 3-5....almost 50 kids! The songs are amusing, catchy and educational. A 'non-religious, (but seasonal), production. Highly recommend!!!
Fantastic, just what I was looking for for my preschoolers
Great songs, (the kids love The Angry Song) great story and very easy for my pre schoolers to learn. A fab change from the usual nativity songs sang at Christmastime.
Very amusing
Have performed this with 14 children aged 3 - 4. They loved it and learnt most of the songs easily. They particularly enjoyed the Angry Song and this really amused their parents. We managed to find snowman costumes on the internet which really added to the performance.
brilliant
My daughter did this for her first nursery production and actually sang the song a snowman at sunset as a solo at the age of 3! It was a brilliant show especially the angry song which they performed brilliantly! Well worth buying and performing
