Anna van Riel is a singer/songwriter from Lake Hawea, New Zealand and has created a 14 track children's album full of fun and interactive songs for babies up to the age of seven.

The first seven years are of vital importance to a child. In this phase, and at a very rapid pace, children master the skills of movement, speech, gesture, verbal and non-verbal communication, uprightness and many others. Most of this is learnt through imitation — the young child mimics everything from physical movements through to attitudes & values.

Full of easy ukulele chord charts to all the tracks on your favourite kids album but also complimented by a stack of easy and tasty recipes that are fun for kids and great for parents wanting nourishing options to make together.

This is a great addition to your library and makes an excellent gift for friends and family who you'd like to offer something a little quirky and different to.

Full of beautiful illustrations, ideas on ways to help encourage development in your children, cute anecdotes and notes for folks, this book will be something to reach for regularly once it's part of your collection.

Take one bowl, add a little bit of soul
Here's a song to make you jump and swing
A mixing spoon, be ready soon
You and I are gonna dance and sing

Add some Oooh's, a pinch of ahhh's
A little boogie woogie and some air guitar
Stamp your feet, you can't go wrong
Baby you and me are cooking up a song

Stretch high, bend down
Wriggle and jiggle to the ground
Snap the beat. You can't go wrong
We're cooking up a song

Spaghetti arms, tap dance toes
Shake, shake your boogie and wriggle your nose
Knock your knees, yell big bang bong
Oh you and me are cooking up a song

Mix it up, mix it well
It's gonna taste sweet, honey you can tell
With a rhythm so right, it can't be wrong
Honey you and me are cooking up a song!

What are you waiting for? Grab your mixing bowls and aprons and whisk the kids away on a cooking adventure for the whole family
