FULL DESCRIPTION:
Flumpa®, the award-winning rain forest tree frog, and his Earthling friend Wendy Whitten ''The Singing Scientist'', dons a spacesuit and journeys to the stars and beyond in his newest musical recording, Flumpa''s World: Out of This World featuring pioneering NASA recordings and 13 original songs providing educational fun about the planets, stars and the universe.
The musical styles of Flumpa''s World: Out of This World travel light years beyond the usual children''s fare, with hip-hop, rock & roll and jazz styles intermingling with real scientific information that tantalizes listeners to discover more. The recording also commemorates the 25th anniversary of the docking of Apollo 18 with Soyuz 19 on July 17, 1975, and pays special tribute to the men and women who transformed humankind''s extraterrestrial dreams into the reality of space exploration. Flumpa''s World: Out of This World is dedicated to Ray Sloan Whitten, father of Flumpa creator Wendy Whitten. Whitten Sr. worked on unmanned and manned missions for NASA, including Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs.
The songs on Flumpa''s World: Out of This World present a "mission: possible" where kids find encouragement to follow their dreams, just as early astronomers and space engineers did. From the introductory song "Eyes to the Sky" to tracks like "Razzle Dazzle" and "Anybody Out There?" the message is the same: use your powers of observation and imagination to explore the universe. When kids do the "Flumpa Hop" or spin around the beats of "Planet Swing" and "Earth in Motion," they use their entire bodies in the learning process. The track "Space Challenge" begins with a historic 1961 speech by John F. Kennedy setting the nation on track for space exploration in 1961, plus actual NASA space command recordings, interspersed with dynamic music and lyrics that inspire children to pursue their own adventurous goals.
