This book is about the magical music adventures of these two fun loving birds. Music is a form of expression and it is wonderful for children to freely explore the world around them through sound. Children are naturally creative and love to explore everything new and amazing. Most young children love to sing, dance and make music. This children's book has vibrant eye-catching colorful illustrations, which help children visualize the story. Color is a dynamic stimulation and plays a very important role in learning, as research has shown that 50-60 percent of our brain is used for seeing. Alook is a fun loving, friendly, and a little quirky bird that enjoys lots of adventure and traveling around the world. He is on a mission to entertain and delight all of our wonderful children. Along his journeys, he likes to collect memorabilia to remind him of the wonderful memories and special friendships that he makes along the way. In this rhyming story Alook and his new friend, Luna highlight different musical instruments. Luna & Alook's Magical Music Book is entertaining and is perfect for preschoolers at bedtime as well as a self-read book for older children. It is also a great rhyming book for toddlers and a perfect early reader book. Rhyming teaches children who are learning to read about the patterns and structures in both spoken and written words. Rhyming and songs expose children to the rhythm of language, which helps them read with some animation in their voice instead of just a monotone voice. Rhyming also helps children learn about word families such as down and town, or bash and crash and so on. For instance, if your child is learning to spell, if they can spell glow, they can spell show and if they can spell fast they can spell past. Have you ever seen kids sitting and happily listening to someone reading in a monotone voice? I haven't. If you want to hold a child's attention, read with inflection and animation, and they will sit glued to your voice. Rhyming and rhythm are very important skills that help a young reader learn to use inflection an animation when reading aloud. Rhyming also prepares kids to make predictions while learning words and gives them crucial interpreting skills."

Author Information

"What Koolamundo means to me is, ""It's a Kool World."" Having the opportunity to live and grow-up as a third culture child played a huge part in how I see the world today. I was born in the UK and migrated to Africa as a wee dot, which was just the beginning of my journey, after which I ventured on to America, New Zealand and finally back to Europe where I currently reside. This lifestyle gave me the chance to see how amazing and incredible our Planet Earth really is. Many years ago I thought about developing a character that could educate and entertain the children and youth of the world. I wanted to share the experiences of the people I had met, the way they lived their lives, what they did for fun, the foods they ate and the multicultural global lifestyles they led. My family was always my top priority, and it was important to spend the precious growing years with them, so the publishing projects were put on hold. Now that our lovely children are full grown and off on journeys of their own, I have the much needed time on my hands to focus on all the other wonderful children out there, and my characters are coming to life. I hope you will join me on my edutainment adventure."
