Music Review: Emily Arrow Storytime Singalong

Have you heard of Emily Arrow? She's a new singer who has created her own genre of music she calls Kidlit Tunes. She takes a book (with permission from the authors) and gives it some music. It's a fun story stretcher and another way to enjoy some literature.

Storytime Singalong Volume One is a great disc to listen to on the way to and from the library or on a road trip or just around the house. Emily Arrow has a sweet voice and her songs have lovely mellow sound.

Most of the songs are bookish tunes, but there are some original songs on the disc as well. There is not CD insert because the case is printed cardboard with plastic piece to hold onto the disc. The inside cover lists the song titles as well as credits for each song. There are no song lengths listed on the case, so I'll include them in my blog post. (I typically check Amazon or AllMusic for CD facts.)




You can get a preview of Emily Arrow's songs on her website. She also shares videos on her website as well. Below is the track list and a few notes from me. The italicized tracks were some of my favorites from Storytime Singalong:
